Posocco's research centers on Nationalism and National Identity formation, Holocaust Studies through perpetrator-centric museum narratives, Memory Studies of colonial violence, and Power Dynamics linking historical conquests to the climate crisis. His work critically analyzes how identities hollow out post-independence (particularly Irish cases), how museums frame perpetrator agency, and how colonial bio-cultural devastation defines the proposed "Homogenocene" epoch. Key theoretical engagements include Anthony D. Smith's ethno-symbolism and interdisciplinary critiques of power.

His recent publications reveal a cohesive trajectory connecting political identity crises with environmental justice through historical analysis. Posocco consistently examines how power operates through narrative control—from Irish nationalism to Holocaust representation to colonial resource extraction—demonstrating how historical lies enable ongoing climate violence. Collaborations with Ian Watson and Daniele Conversi highlight transnational methodological approaches bridging political theory, cultural studies, and environmental humanities.
