==Studies==
Her studies focus on four aspects: critical race feminism, emotions being shaped, repair activities of humans, and humans as waste makers. Critical race theory is "a critical examination of society and culture, to the intersection of race, law, and power". However, Spelman's interpretation of this theory also involves women. She expresses her thoughts about the subject in her book titled ''Inessential Woman: Problems of Exclusion in Feminist Thought''. This book focuses on her studies of race and gender together. Her book titled ''Fruits of Sorrow: Framing our Attention to Suffering'', focuses on her studies of human emotions. She believes politics and interactions between humans cannot be separated from our emotions. They influence one another. The emotion that is focused on in this book is that of human suffering. Her studies regard what can come about from suffering. She notes that not all things that come about from suffering are bad. She focuses on three ways people who suffer can be seen: "tragic figures, or objects of compassion, or bearers of experiences from which others can learn or otherwise profit". In this book she attempts to discover the meaning and significance of human suffering. Her studies involve the suffering of oneself as well as that of others. Her studies of repair activities of humans is published in her book titled ''Repair: The Impulse to Restore a Fragile World''. This book ties into her other piece, Fruits of Sorrow. While that book shows the imperfections of life, e.g. the fact that things break, this piece shows humans' needs to fix them. Her book delves into what makes humans human. We naturally attempt to fix things that are broken or wrong in our lives.
As stated on her information page on Smith College's website, she is currently working on project focusing on humans as natural beings that create waste. The book will be titled Homo sapiens as Homo trasho. She jokingly states, "Yes, the book promises to be pure rubbish".〔
