Her scientific interests focused on English aesthetics. She wrote her doctoral thesis on this subject under the supervision of Professor Władysław Tatarkiewicz. She published articles, reports, and reviews on the works of English aesthetics and other Western scholars in such magazines as the “British Journal of Aesthetics” (an organ of the British Society of Aesthetics), “Aesthetics”, “Studia Estetyczne”, and “Przegląd Humanistyczny”. In English periodicals she published papers related to the scientific achievements of Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Roman Ingarden, and other representatives of Polish science. The development of research on English and Western aesthetics in general brought this important philosophical current closer to the Polish scientific community on the other side of the Iron Curtain in a period when it was difficult for ideological reasons. Later, her scientific interests came closer to the pedagogy of culture.
