She teaches 20th Century US history and the history of social movements.

Dr. Fernández’s recent research and litigation has unearthed an arsenal of primary documents now available to scholars and members of the public. Her Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) lawsuit against the NYPD led to the recovery of the “lost” Handschu files, the largest repository of police surveillance records in the country, namely over one million surveillance files of New Yorkers compiled by the NYPD between 1954 and 1972 including those of Malcolm X. She is the editor of "Writing on the Wall: Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu-Jamal" (City Lights, 2015). With Mumia Abu-Jamal she co-edited a special issue of the journal Socialism and Democracy, titled "The Roots of Mass Incarceration in the US: Locking Up Black Dissidents and Punishing the Poor" (Routledge, 2014).

Among others, her awards include the Fulbright Scholars grant to the Middle East and North Africa, which took her to Jordan, and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship of the Scholars-in-Residence program at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture of the New York Public Library.

Dr. Fernández is the writer and producer of the film, "Justice on Trial: the Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal" (BigNoise Films, 2010). She directed and co-curated "¡Presente! The Young Lords" in New York an exhibition in three NYC museums cited by the New York Times as one of the year’s Top 10 Best In Art. Her mainstream writings have been published internationally, from Al Jazeera to the Huffington Post. She has appeared in a diverse range of print, radio, online and televised media including NPR, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Democracy Now!.
