Research Areas

My research focuses on the history of education, especially the history of universities, the history of women in education, and the history of philanthropy in education. I am currently working on two book length projects: an edited volume on the history of women, philanthropy, and education in the U.S. and an interpretative history of the experience of women administrators and faculty at Barnard College and Columbia University.
