In the past, Anna Kolářová has researched primarily the role of folklore and regional history in the formation of local identities and the musealization of Czech Germans in Bohemia and Germany. Public history, museum exhibitions and Czech-German or Czech-Bavarian cultures of memory remain important areas of her professional interest to date.
In her current dissertation project, she focuses on tourism in Šumava and the Bavarian Forest before the establishment of the Iron Curtain, where she focuses primarily on the formation and perception of different types of borders and boundaries and on the environmental aspects of tourism. She is also looking into the possibilities of posthumanist approaches to historical research and the interconnection between environmental history and anthropological approaches to forest and landscape.
She is a member of the European Conservation Humanities Network.
