Her work focuses on questions of citizenship, gender, and religion, in both contemporary and historical contexts. Her current project is investigating the hundreds of speeches that women gave in the congresses associated with the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, illuminating the competing models of citizenship articulated by women from diverse backgrounds. Her first book, The Faithful Citizen, investigated the ideals of citizenship articulated in contemporary religious media. Her work has also been published in Rhetoric & Public Affairs, Critical Studies in Media Communication, and Philosophy & Rhetoric, among other outlets.
