She is the author of a book, Reformation in La Rochelle: Tradition and Change in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1568, published in 1996, and several articles on La Rochelle. Her current research deals with the 17th-century consistory records in Courthézon in southern France (the consistory was the governing body of the local Calvinist church). Her article, “On the Front Lines of Co-existence: Courthézon’s Consistory in the Early 17th Century,” was published in early 2013. She is also interested in how women fared during the Reformation, and that is the subject of her most recent conference presentation, “Women and the Limits of Consistorial Discipline: The Case of Courthézon in the Early 17th Century.” She received her B.A. in history from Lawrence University and her Ph.D. in history from the University of Iowa.
