Interdictions de mariage, pratiques ecclésiales et étatiques de dispenses aux xviii^e et xix^e siècles” (“Verwaltete Verwandtschaft. Eheverbote, kirchliche und staatliche Dispenspraxis im 18. und 19.

She recently published The Power of the Fathers. Historical Perspectives from Ancient Rome to the Nineteenth Century (Routledge, 2015), and with Christine Fertig Beziehungen, Vernetzungen, Konflikte.
