Biography:Neema Parvini

From HandWiki

| module =Template:Infobox social media personality }} Neema Parvini, also known as Academic Agent,[1] is a British academic, writer, and YouTuber. He is currently a senior fellow at the Centre of Heterodox Studies at the University of Buckingham.[2] He has worked at Richmond American University London,[3] Brunel University of London,[4] Royal Holloway, and the University of Surrey.

He was trained as a literature scholar, and his books on William Shakespeare mainly discuss the influence of new historicism, cognitive approaches to Shakespeare studies, and ethical thinking in Shakespeare's works. He has written for the online magazine Quillette[5] and the Ludwig von Mises Institute,[6] and has spoken at the think tank Traditional Britain.[7] Parvini is a member of the Heterodox Academy and the Evolution Institute, and attended the Battle of Ideas event run by the Institute of Art and Ideas.[8] He is a Senior Fellow at the Centre for Heterodox Social Science.[9]

Parvini discusses political theories on the rule of elites on his YouTube page "Academic Agent".[10]

In Bournbrook Magazine, Alexander Adams describes Parvini's book The Populist Delusion as "an informative, succinctly-written and accessible handbook for those who wish to understand the core principles of elite theory discussed by reactionaries and the dissident right".[10]

In 2024 the anti-racist group Hope not Hate described his views as "extreme" in nature.[11][12] The group also states that he has "a large international following" and "has spoken at a range of conferences. These included the Traditional Britain Group in 2022 and 2023, Nomos in London alongside Colin Robertson (AKA Millennial Woes), and Scyldings alongside Carl Benjamin (AKA Sargon of Akkad) and Curtis Yarvin."
