Dr. Oroz's primary research interests include:
- Cultural Memory and Social Collective Memory
- Balkan Studies and Mediterranean Studies
- Island Studies and Temporalities

- History and Writing of Memory
Analysis of Dr. Oroz's recent publications reveals a strong focus on temporal dimensions of cultural phenomena. His work examines 'island time' concepts, particularly on Dalmatian islands like Dugi Otok and Hvar, exploring how communities experience and represent time through spatial practices, migration patterns, and cultural traditions. He also investigates urban transformations in Croatian cities, examining how public spaces become sites of contested memory and identity. His research frequently bridges anthropology, history, and cultural geography to understand the complex interplay between time, space, and cultural memory in the Adriatic region.
Dr. Oroz has been actively involved in academic discourse regarding memory practices, island studies, and Balkan cultural dynamics. His work often examines how historical events are memorialized and how these practices shape contemporary identities. He has contributed to understanding the complex relationships between mainland and island communities, capital cities and port cities, and how these spatial relationships influence cultural production and memory practices in Croatia.
