Juliann Vitullo is an Associate Professor of Italian studies, a Senior Sustainability Scholar, and Co-director of the Humanities Lab at Arizona State University. She has written on various aspects of medieval, early modern, and contemporary Italian culture with emphasis on the relationship between textual traditions and the material world, including economics, gender, and food studies. She currently is researching the history of the translocal traditions collectively defined as varieties of the Mediterranean diet and the different ways they are translated into other cultures. Her research and community-based teaching emphasize the importance of preserving the cultural and ecological knowledge of traditional and Indigenous foodways, including those of the Southwest where she lives and teaches, for a more equitable and sustainable future.
