Professor Davis is internationally known for her studies in theatre history. She has contributed to the emergence of performance studies as an international field as well as on re-defining theatre history as a genuine contribution to cultural history. During her stay in Germany, she will continue her work on nineteenth-century-theatre with a special focus on processes of international circulation and exchange.
