Her research integrates historical studies and socio-cultural analysis to explore themes of global education and multiculturalism, as well as African studies and geopolitics. Frelier's work examines themes of family transformation, as seen in her analysis of Vietnamese transdiasporic experiences in Kim Thúy’s *Ru* and Thi Bui’s *The Best We Could Do*.
