Professor Sage's research critically examines modern European social and cultural landscapes, with concentrated expertise in nineteenth- and twentieth-century France. Her scholarly approach integrates urban history—particularly analyzing street life and graffiti as historical artifacts—with labor movements, socialist theory, and revolutionary dynamics. She actively investigates intersections of race, class, and gender while employing microhistorical methodologies and historiographical frameworks to uncover nuanced narratives within broader historical contexts.
