Her research interests are based on sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, documentation the Nenets language and spoken history of the Western Siberian Nenets. In her work she describes the Nenets memories about the past and their present life in the Yamal tundra. Also, she is describing Nenets\u2019 culture, language and customs in the tundra of northwest Siberia from an inside perspective. In March 2008, she defended her doctoral thesis on a topic \u201cThe category of definiteness\/indefiniteness in the structure of the Nenets simple sentences\u201d. In April 2020, Roza has successfully defended her Western PhD thesis at the University of Lapland, Rovaniemi, Finland, titled: \"When We Got Reindeer, We Moved to Live to the Tundra: The Spoken and Silenced History of the Yamal Nenets\u201d. This dissertation is based on the stories of the Nenets reindeer herders from the Yamal peninsula, Western Siberia. It shows that spoken stories and interviews concerning big changes on the tundra reflect a general mechanism of making Nenets official historical narratives. Through analysing silence in the example of the Yamal Nenets people stories, Laptander studied the role of silence and silencing offering a new approach to understanding how small indigenous societies keep memories and stories about their past. At the present time she is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hamburg, Germany, and a visiting researcher at the University of Lapland, Finland.
