About

Mica Nimkarn is a queer, Thai- American scholar who looks at Thai identity formation through foodways and the restaurant space. They use ethnographic methods to understand the role of US Empire, tourism, and globalization in creating Thai restaurants as an ethnic economic niche in America. Their work is rooted in their own experiences as a restaurant kid in NYC and firsthand experiences of the intertwinedness between Thai American identity and food.
