She specializes in 19th and 20th century Italian and German literature, with a focus on psychoanalysis, cultural theory, and gender studies. Her research bridges political science and literary analysis, examining themes like national identity formation, fascism, and postfascist memory. She earned her B.A. (1978) in Sociology from the University of Essex, M.A. (1980) and Ph.D. (1990) in Political Science from Yale University, and an M.A. (1995) in German Studies from Cornell University.

Current projects explore Italy's fascist legacy and land reclamation narratives, supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship. She teaches interdisciplinary courses such as 'Freud: Writer and Reader' and 'Representations of Italian Fascism.'
