Krystyna specialises in twentieth-century English literature. Her current research project investigates empirical reception, particularly the potential impact of literature on individual empowerment. Her previous research explored historical reception and the social collective impact of reading, as well as translation history and censorship. Her monograph George Orwell and Communist Poland: Émigré, Official and Clandestine Receptions is being published this year (2024).

Before starting the Marie Curie Fellowship, Krystyna was an Assistant Professor in English Philology at the Ignatianum Academy in Krakow, Poland, and an English Tutor at the University of Bologna, Italy. Prior to this, she had been a Visiting Scholar in English at the University of Milan.
