She is the author of Raised to Obey: The Rise and Spread of Mass Education (Princeton University Press, November 2024). Her book challenges conventional wisdom about the origins of mass education, arguing that state-regulated primary schooling in the Western world emerged not from democratic ideals, economic needs, or nationalism, but as a means for political elites to instill obedience and maintain social order. Using historical and empirical data, she shows that these systems were designed to shape children into rule-following citizens, reinforcing political stability rather than fostering social mobility or economic development.\n
