Her research primarily focuses on early modern European music, with an emphasis on music practice, cultural transfer, and the relationship between peripheral and central musical traditions. Throughout her career, Schildt has engaged in various research projects, including the study of music transfer in 17th-century Europe and the history of church music in Sweden.
