Areas of specialization include medieval literature and culture with emphases on women and religion; intersections of gender, religion, and nationality; and the ongoing importance of medieval religion in the early modern period.
She has published a book on female spirituality and political conflict entitled _Women of God and Arms: Female Spirituality and Political Conflict, 1380-1600_ (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005) and a book on female monasticism in later medieval England entitled _Spiritual Economies: Female Monasticism in Later Medieval England_ (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001) as well as numerous articles on medieval female spirituality. She has also co-edited a collection of essays on religion and the vernacular in the Middle Ages.
Her most recent book, entitled _The Embodied Word: Female Spiritualities, Contested Orthodoxies, and English Religious Cultures 1350-1700_ appeared in November 2010 as part of the ReFormations series at University of Notre Dame Press. This book is a comparative study of medieval and early modern women's ways of writing about God and religious experience. It undertakes an exploration of the ways in which textual and historical relations among gendered individuals, human others, and God are negotiated. At this books heart is a call to reconsider the binaries of medieval and early modern, Catholic and Protestant, orthodoxy and heterodoxy, that have obscured important aspects of English religious cultures.
Her current book project is entiteld _Chaucer and Confessional Controversies from the Middle Ages to the Augustan Age_.edit
