Alyssa Chrisman studies children's and young adult literature, focusing on how books portray emotions, mental illness, and social issues such as anger, and how these texts intersect with education practices like Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Her work also examines censorship of picturebooks addressing queer identities and critiques standardized approaches to teaching emotions in schools. This research draws on literary analysis, education studies, and critical perspectives on race and gender.
Publication output has been low but fairly steady over the last decade, averaging roughly one publication per year with occasional gaps (e.g., 2023).
