Her main research interests are the history and post-war history of the Second World War, the role of "bystands" in the Holocaust, questions of collective memory and historical politics, the political and cultural history of divided Germany, GDR and East German history since 1989, the rise of right-wing populism and the Historiography history. Morina regularly speaks out in public on historical questions and controversies.

In August 2018, her appeal against the dissolution of the Historical Commission of the SPD by chairwoman Andrea Nahles found surprisingly broad support from over 1,100 (completed on September 7, 2018) historians and interested parties. In response to the appeal, the SPD founded the “History Forum” in 2019, in which Morina participates; she is not a member of the SPD.
