Her research explores how sexuality and gender have been understood, categorized, and policed in 20th-century America, with particular attention to the interplay between scientific inquiry, popular culture, and national identity. She examines topics ranging from the impact of the Kinsey Reports to the urban apartment lifestyle in post-war film.
Across her publications, Reumann traces how scientific discourses on sex and gender shaped—and were shaped by—broader cultural anxieties, liberal politics, and evolving urban environments. Her work situates figures like Alfred Kinsey and Harry Stack Sullivan within their historical contexts, illuminating the reciprocal influence between expert knowledge and everyday life.
In her role as Director of Graduate Studies, she oversees curricular development, advises graduate students, and fosters interdisciplinary scholarship within the department.
