Margot's current research focus lies at the intersection of legal history, policing, and fashion. She is interested in the role of fashion in how people, particularly women and Black Americans, were constructed and understood as legal subjects from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.
Margot previously worked in the criminal justice system at the Legal Aid Society in the Bronx and the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. In addition, she has spent many summers working in hospitality.
