Norando's research topics cover the Americas’ History of Women, notably its feminist history, working women’s experiences, gender-based violence in domestic and workplace contexts, social reproduction and production, and female activism – the latter both non-politically affiliated and against the backdrop of feminist and left-wing organizations. Norando’s analytical framework considers how gender, race, class, and age, among others such as nationality and religion, come together to produce social experiences.
Norando’s current research focuses on gender-based violence and the feminist movement in Latin America from a perspective of Feminist Political Economy from the end of the 19th Century to the present day. Her project investigates how the feminist movement addresses gender-based violence in different ways, as well as the origin of this gender-based violence. Norando is currently developing a new theory that focuses on a mode of production that addresses more than just capital – it factors in the patriarchy. This theory approaches capital and patriarchy not as simple and separate systems that work in combination but as one and the same.
