Oranli's work mostly explores critical philosophical perspectives in the Continental philosophical tradition in connection with moral and political theories of evil. She is also interested in the literature on epistemic injustice, theories of violence, critical philosophy of race and racism, genocide studies, feminist ethics and postcolonial theory. In her book project, she utilizes an interdisciplinary and applied methodology to bring cases of political violence into contact with theories of evil.
