Her research interests focus on aesthetic theory and practice within educational contexts, particularly examining how artistic experiences shape learning processes. She investigates space-time concepts of 'open density' in pedagogy and explores the integration of aesthetic dimensions into early childhood educational discourse. Her work emphasizes an expanded concept of knowledge and education that incorporates artistic research methodologies.

Through her 'aesth paideia' research project, she examines the relevance of 'Aesthetic Research' in the interconnected fields of art, education, and didactics, with particular attention to early childhood contexts. Her approach combines university-based theoretical work with practical educational applications, creating dialogic interweaving between academic and practical perspectives.

Ms. Kussmaul has developed educational concepts through her TeachingLearningSpaceTime framework and contributes to the Workshop for Aesthetic Practice (WÄP) alongside Prof. Widdascheck. Her work extends beyond traditional academic boundaries to include practical research on aesthetic-artistic practices in early childhood settings and their educational relevance.
