Her current projects involve examining the socio-ethical-political implications of anti-ageing discourses and practices, particularly how global trends in biotechnology affect women's experiences and health perceptions. Mire's research interrogates the societal investments that protect and regulate the female body, exploring themes of societal norms, consumerism, and the anti-ageing market. She analyzes the skin-whitening industry through the lenses of gender, race, and capitalist academic partnerships, shedding light on the complex narratives surrounding beauty standards and colonial histories.
