Her research spans four centuries, focusing on personal adornment and the construction of identity in 18th century England and America, 19th-century ranching in Hawaii, daily life in 1860s Aurora, Nevada, and on the built environment of Black Rock City. Her new research project focuses on squatted buildings and the right to the city in Rome, Italy.
