Later, Vrečko was employed as an assistant professor at the Department of Art History of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana, where she received her doctorate in 2014.[2] Her areas of research are Slovenian and Yugoslav art in the 20th century, with an emphasis on the study and organization of artists, exhibition history and cultural policy in the period of both Yugoslavias, and camp art.[1]
