Current research
My research focuses on political family and childhood history in the 19th and 20th centuries. I am interested in how people have organized their family life, how power is exercised in intimate relationships, and how such relationships have been shaped by shifting social, economic, political and legal circumstances.
Themes: family history, divorce, education, childhood, gender, class, race.
