Dr. Lamar's primary research field has been colonial Latin American history with specialization in the business and family history of early nineteenth-century Chilean merchants. That work included substantial study of late colonial women.

While continuing to explore biography as social history, her latest scholarly adventure takes her in a radically new direction (at least for Latin Americanist historians) to the history of Southern women in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century United States.

In 2008 Dr. Lamar was the recipient of the Leonard Ledvina Award for Excellence in Teaching.
