Her dissertation, Heimat in the Cold War: A Multimedial Cultural History of Germany's Easts, examines the post-1945 cultural practices of Sudeten German expellees and interrogates intersections between theories of diaspora, visual studies, and border theory. Her interests include Christian iconography and pilgrimages, nostalgia, representations of wartime destruction, and Cold War culture in and beyond Germany. Her research has been supported by Andrew D. Mellon, Luigi Einaudi, and DAAD Dissertation Fellowships.
