Her dissertation, "Scribner's Monthly 1870-1881: Illustrating a New American Art World," explored the significant expansion of illustration in print media during the 1870s, using Scribner's Monthly as a lens to examine how the medium changed the general aesthetic in American art in the late nineteenth century.

In addition to her Art Humanities class, she also teaches courses at Columbia that focus on American Art and Global Exchange from the seventeenth through the twentieth century.
