Dr. Antolic-Piper's main research interests are in historical and contemporary work in philosophical psychology including the nature of the soul, the intellect, and emotion, specifically anger.

In the history of philosophy, she works with sources in Latin medieval philosophy as well as ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. Here she focuses on issues at the intersection of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics following the translations of Aristotelian and Arabic works on metaphysics and physics and Plato's Meno and Phaedo. Among other projects, she is currently studying early 13th conceptions of soul and intellect with special emphasis on Roger Bacon's early Parisian philosophical commentaries. She is also working on a project on Roger Bacon's Moral Philosophy and the relevance of Platonic elements therein.

In addition, Dr. Antolic-Piper is working on issues at the intersection of theories of emotion and feminist philosophy including conceptions of morally justified anger.
