After being a visiting assistant professor at Iowa, she joined the faculty at Missouri S&T in 2004. The Missouri Conference on History gave its “Best Book Award” to her work entitled “The Politics of Everyday Life in Vichy France: Foreigners, Undesirables, and Strangers.” Her current book project relates to this Early-Vreeland Lecture.
