She focuses on early modern literature and culture, the intersections of literature and political theory, and performance studies. She is currently completing a book manuscript titled Tragic Opposition: Rights of Resistance on the Early Modern Stage, in which she locates a new genealogy of rights in early modern tragedy. She has also begun work on a second book, Building the Royal Body, which investigates how early modern dramas and political ceremonies align the king’s body with elements of urban architecture. She has published on early modern drama, as well as on more contemporary subjects, ranging from symbolist theater to the ethics of representing the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
