Professor Digeser's work has included studies of the concept of power, identity, forgiveness, friendship, the place of ethics in international relations, and the relationship between theory and practice.

Digeser has authored Our Politics Our Selves (Princeton University Press, 1995), Political Forgiveness (Cornell University Press, 2001) and Friendship Reconsidered: What it Means and Why it Matters to Politics (New York: Columbia University Press, 2016).  She is currently working on the idea of collaboration as an accusation.
