Her research centers on twentieth-century music's intersections with community, memory, and feeling—particularly regarding WWII and its aftermath—exploring opera, medievalism, obsolescence, ritual, and music's role in citizenship. Current projects examine contemporary opera, 1950s political-affective spaces in opera, and avant-garde mysticism/silence as political responses.
Publications include the 2012 monograph Britten’s Unquiet Pasts analyzing Britten's works within postwar British reconstruction contexts (Festival of Britain, Coronation, Coventry Cathedral), and a forthcoming OUP book on wartime British film's thematic use of music to conceptualize total war's cultural impact.
