After her doctorate, Grebowicz taught at University of Houston–Downtown and wrote papers on feminist epistemology, radical democracy, French philosophy, and visual culture. She also translated poetry from Polish into English, including works by Ewa Lipska.[4] In September 2003, she sang in her debut performance as the lead vocalist for the bossa nova Brazilian jazz group Com Você.
