Research Interests:


Professor Wingrove's book on Rousseau and the sexual politics of republicanism was recently published by Princeton University Press. Her current research combines contemporary social theory, literary theory, intellectual history, and canonical political theory in an exploration of 18th century epistolary culture. A central feature of this project concerns methodology, e.g., the complementarity as well as the tension that characterize narrative, historical, and quantitative modes of analysis. She has also written on educational "crises" in advanced democracies, and the uses and abuses of "civil society" as a political concept.
