His research interests include the history of modern art and architecture in the 19th and 20th centuries, the history and theory of the avant-garde, the sociology of art, and artistic practices during these periods. He has published articles in journals and edited volumes on art and architectural history. His most recent publication is the monograph Artists and Radicalism in Germany, 1890-1933: Reform, Politics and the Paradoxes of the Avant-Garde (Brill/Historical Materialism Series, 2025), which investigates the roots of the interwar artistic avant-garde in 19th-century social and educational reform movements, exploring issues of intellectual labour, artistic autonomy and the professional politics of artists.
