Vellino’s research and teaching interests include contemporary theatre studies focused on transnational, Canadian and Indigenous theatre. She studies poetry and theatre as a means of performative intervention into conversations on social identities, human rights, citizenship and ecological concerns.
Vellino has been engaged in the field of literature and human rights, publishing in several key volumes, including Teaching Human Rights in Literary and Cultural Studies (2015) and The Routledge Companion to Literature and Human Rights (2016).
Her latest work addresses the injustices of settler colonialism and Indigenous claims to land and territorial, cultural and embodied sovereignty. Vellino recently published an essay in this area: Restaging Indigenous – Settler Relations: Intercultural Theatre as Redress Rehearsal in Marie Clements’ and Rita Liestner’s The Edward Curtis Project.
