Angela Marino's teaching and research focuses on performance and political cultures of the Southwest, Caribbean, and Latin America. She teaches classes on theater and performance studies theory, methods, and a praxis class called Teatro Lab. She also leads an interdisciplinary research initiative, Critical Perspectives on Democracy and Media (D+M Lab), which supports community-engaged partnerships with student research apprentices in policy analysis and art production. See demoxmedia.org.
In 2018, Marino published her first book Populism and Performance in the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela with Northwestern University Press, which brings attention to theater, film, and popular festivals during the first decade of 21st century socialism in Venezuela. Marino is also co-editor of the book Festive Devils of the Americas (Seagull Press/University of Chicago Press, 2015). She is currently working on a manuscript for a new book on festivals and governance.
