She specializes in twentieth-century English literature with a focus on literary translation, reception, and censorship studies. Her current research project, LIFE (LIterature For Empowerment), investigates empirical reception and literature's potential impact on empowerment. Dr. Wieszczek De Oliveira-Dep's research interests center on twentieth-century English literature, particularly the works of George Orwell and their reception in Communist Poland. Her monograph George Orwell and Communist Poland: Émigré, Official and Clandestine Receptions was published by Routledge in 2025. Her work bridges literary studies with political history, examining how literature functions within and against authoritarian systems. The LIFE project represents a significant expansion of her research into empirical methods for measuring literature's impact on readers' empowerment. Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on literary reception in politically constrained environments, with particular attention to translation practices, censorship mechanisms, and reader responses in Communist Eastern Europe. The research shows a trajectory from historical analysis of specific cases (like Orwell in Poland) toward developing methodological frameworks for studying literature's empowering potential more broadly.

The project brings together literary scholars, psychologists, and social scientists to create interdisciplinary frameworks for understanding how literature might contribute to personal and social empowerment, particularly in post-authoritarian contexts.
