Focusing on musical engagements with politics and activism in Mexico, Dr Green has published work in peer-reviewed journals including Cultural Sociology, Cultural Studies, Media, Culture and Society, Popular Music and Society, Ethnomusicology Forum, Popular Music and the International Journal of Cultural Policy.
