About Mara

Mara Favoretto is an Associate Professor in Latin American Studies at the University of Melbourne, affiliated with the School of Languages and Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts. She earned her PhD in Latin American Studies from the University of Melbourne, with her doctoral work encompassing themes of allegory and irony under censorship during Argentina's military dictatorship (1976-1983) and explorations of Latin American music migrations, such as salsa, cumbia, and merengue in Melbourne. Her academic career at the University of Melbourne spans research, teaching, and authorship, including contributions to courses like Spanish Entry Point 1. Favoretto's research centers on popular music studies, emphasizing song lyrics as counter-discourse during cultural crises, censorship and resistance in Argentine rock, and the role of popular music in migration contexts, particularly Latin American music scenes in Australia. She participates in projects such as Popular Music and Resistance in Latin America.
