Envisioning Socialism: Television and the Cold War in the German Democratic Republic is her first book. She has also written on the debates surrounding the location and construction of the iconic Berlin television tower, and about the ways in which narratives disseminated by television in the second Berlin crisis helped change the way that East German authorities approached political crisis. Her current research is a comparative and transnational history of television that seeks to relocate the medium as a defining institution of the postwar Western world.
