Her scholarship centers on music, dance, and French identity in seventeenth-century France. She examines representation, politics, and culture in the court ballets of Louis XIII and Louis XIV, exploring how dance music articulated power, gender, and desire. Current projects include a monograph on ballet and dance music at these courts and articles on the first professional danseuses and their sarabandes.
Her published work traces interdisciplinary themes across dance history, musicology, and French cultural studies, with recent articles in The Journal of Musicology and Early Music.
