Solimar Otero studies folklore, religion, and performance in the African diaspora, with particular attention to Afro-Cuban and Afro-Latinx communities in the Caribbean. Her work examines how spiritual practices, ancestral traditions, gender, and cultural expression are passed down and reinterpreted across generations. She also engages with feminist and transnational theory to interpret storytelling, ritual, and material culture.
Publication activity has remained steady over the past decade, averaging around three works per year with modest year-to-year fluctuation.
