Dr. Angela L. Robinson (Wito clan of Chuuk) researches within the fields of affect studies, Indigenous studies, and performance studies.

Her book project, Performing the Pacific: Affect, Sociality, and Sovereignty, examines affective regimes of colonialism in Oceania and the ways in which Indigenous performance articulates alternative forms of sociality and sovereignty through ontologies of corporeality. She currently serves as the national representative of Micronesia for the Federation of International Dance Festivals. In Fall 2021, Dr. Robinson will begin a position as Assistant Professor of Gender Studies and Environmental Humanities at the University of Utah.
