About Me

L. Sasha Gora is a cultural historian and writer working at the intersection between food studies, the environmental humanities, and contemporary art. Her research focuses on restaurant politics and cultural representation, the relationship between eating and ecology, and the blue humanities, which is to say all things watery (and often salty).

Funded by the Elite Network of Bavaria, she is currently the project director and principal investigator of the “Off the Menu: Appetites, Culture, and Environment” international research group at the University of Augsburg.
