Her dissertation, "Dynasty, Identity, and Authority: Female Rule and Political Culture in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, 1131–1228," examines regnant queenship in crusader Jerusalem as both a distinct and dynamic political office, and a lens into the political culture of a new, hyper-militant Christian kingdom.
