Research Interests and Professional Activities
She is the author of The Family and The Nation: Gender and Citizenship
in Revolutionary France, 1789-1830 (Cornell University Press,
2005). She has also published articles on a series of related topics,
including the role of clothing as a symbol of competing visions
of national identity; the use of familial metaphors for portraying
the power of the state; and in a work in progress, the ban on interracial
marriages in early nineteenth-century France. In 2005, she received
a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a new
project on the social and cultural dimensions of the Napoleonic
Wars, especially on family and gender relations. She has had fellowships
or grants from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the American
Philosophical Society, the American Historical Association, the
