Her research focuses on colonial and postcolonial studies in the context of Eastern European and post-Soviet societies, nationalism, and decolonization. She is the author of Between East and West: Polish and Russian Nineteenth-Century Travel to the Orient (University of Rochester Press, 2004), along with numerous articles related to her main areas of interest, primarily in Polish and Eastern European cinemas.
