Her work focuses particularly on art exhibitions that sought to intervene in debates over race, abolition, and imperialism. Through historical research and publication, Hooper explores how art, collecting, and exhibition practices intersected with the political and social conflicts of the period. A key area of her research is Black-owned art collections, which offers insight into the ways Black individuals and communities engaged with art and shaped its place in public life. This research has received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Antiquarian Society, the Library Company of Philadelphia, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Hooper’s website serves as a professional resource for information about her scholarly interests, publications, and contact details.
