My research trajectory is anchored within the realm of food, culture and media studies, focusing on the analysis of media discourse and the intricate construction of knowledge surrounding food across various media platforms. My research area unveils the nuanced interplay between language, representation, and cultural identity, revealing how these elements shape our perceptions and practices related to food. Through interdisciplinary approaches, I seek to advance scholarship in cultural studies by offering new perspectives on the multifaceted roles of food and environment in contemporary society.
