Research

Her research deals broadly with how problems rooted in private life (e.g., the family, sexuality, reproductive matters, intimate relationships) come to be understood as political issues, a theme which she has played out with respect to feminist democratic theory. She is currently pursuing this theme with respect to comparing family policies and democratic responsiveness in France, Germany, Japan, and the United States .
