She has published on the philosophy of inquiry in the social sciences and on the canon of political thought: "Facts, Values and 'Real' Numbers" with Wingrove and Engelmann in "The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences" and "Mrs. Parker and the History of Political Thought" in a collection on the work of Dorothy Parker both appeared this summer.
