Her main works focus on Czech Catholic hymnals in the 17th and 18th centuries; on the re-Catholicization of Bohemia; on the issue of nationalism and identity in the 19th and 20th centuries; and, more recently, on symbols in the political and religious history of the Habsburg Monarchy in the 17th and 18th centuries. She is a professor and researcher at the EHESS Paris and at the CNRS. In 1990—1991, she was entrusted by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the preparation of the future French Research Centre in Humanities and Social Sciences (CEFRES) in Prague and subsequently became its first director. Her scientific and organizational work was recognized by the Charles University, where on February 18, 2009 she was awarded the doctorate honoris causa on the basis of the nomination by prof.
