Neema Parvini (AKA Academic Agent) is a YouTuber and academic with a large international following. He has held positions at Richmond American University and the University of Surrey, specialising in Shakespeare. He was let go from Surrey due to his far-right activism.

Parvini’s views are extreme and often aligned with that of the race science community. For example, he has tweeted that “blacks are closer to homo erectus” and that black and white people are “different species”. Parvini also frequently quotes the fascist philosopher Julius Evola and recommends books by the American fascist ideologue Francis Parker Yockey.

Parvini has monetised his commentary on current far-right topics and sells premium subscriptions with additional content. While his degrees and academic work were all in the area of literature, he sells online courses to his followers in the area of economics, politics, mathematics and physics, as well as writing.

He has spoken at a range of far-right 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. Despite his extreme connections, Parvini was also interviewed by then-Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg on GB News in March 2024 to discuss social cohesion and plug his latest book.

In 2024, an undercover investigation by HOPE not hate revealed Parvini was in talks with Matthew Frost and Erik Ahrens of the Human Diversity Foundation about setting up a far-right think tank to launder extreme ideas. Later that year, Parvini’s website underwent a design rebrand, listing him as the “director” of his website, Academic Agency. Parvini’s books are hosted on Frost and Ahrens’s audiobook website, Liegent.
