Fabio Parasecoli
Fabio Parasecoli (born in 1964) is an Italian academic and author, whose work focusses on the intersectionality of food, media and politics. He is currently a Food Studies professor at NYU Steinhardt. Parasecoli was born in Rome, and studied contemporary Chinese history for two years in Beijing University under a graduate fellowship before obtaining a PhD in agricultural sciences with a focus on gender and nutrition from Hohenheim University. He moved to the United States of America in 1998, initially working as the US correspondent for Gambero Rosso. He later worked as a professor at The New School, before moving to NYU Steinhardt. His 2008 book Bite Me! Food in Popular Culture was praised as "a necessary addition to the analysis of the popular and the edible". His writing style has been criticised as being excessively complicated. In 2018, Parasecoli started a three year long research project examining the renewed interest towards traditional, local and regional food in Poland through a grant received from the National Science Centre. In 2022 he received a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport for a project on cultural heritage and design. Books
