Her research focuses on ethnographic writing in church histories of Late Antiquity (4th-5th centuries AD), particularly examining comparative practices in texts by Socrates, Sozomenos, and Theodoret. She explores themes of identity, alterity, and knowledge production in late antique contexts.
The trends in her publications and conference reports, such as her work on AE 1979, 33 and the 'Limits of Orders' workshop in Bielefeld, emphasize interdisciplinary analysis of imperial dynamics, heresiological discourse, and memory politics in antiquity. Her lectures at institutions like Notre Dame and Cambridge University further highlight her expertise in ecclesiastical historiography.
