Her research interests include commons governance, critical legal studies, and transboundary river management. Frishta graduated from Brown University and is a 2020 Fulbright Research Fellow.

Through ethnographic research along the Zarafshan River, she explored how hybrid governance coalitions are challenging conventional understandings of what constitutes the transboundary commons.
