Garo's research focuses on the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, put in their context and broached from both theoretical and political angles.

She is president of the Grande Édition Marx et Engels (GEME), a project working on the first complete edition of the writings of Marx and Engels in the French language.[ citation needed ]

In 2012, she announced her support of the Left Front and its candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon. [6] In November 2015, she signed the "Appeal of the 58": "We will protest during the state of emergency". [7] [8] Since 2018, she has been a member of the Council of Orientation of the Foundation Copernic. [9]
