Her groundbreaking work examines the storytelling traditions embedded in Sherman Alexie's seminal collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (1993), exploring how narratives shape cultural identities both in personal cognition and educational settings. Through multilingual publications, including the Italian edition Racconto - Nella nostra mente e in aula, the French edition Raconter des histoires - dans nos têtes et dans la salle de classe, and the Dutch edition Storytelling - In Our Minds en In the Classroom, Dromnes bridges linguistic divides to make complex literary theories accessible to diverse audiences.

With a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, she continues to illuminate the intersections of literature, psychology, and teaching methodologies.
