Anthony Julian Tamburri serves as Dean of the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute at Queens College, City University of New York (CUNY), and holds the position of Distinguished Professor of European Languages and Literatures. With a career spanning over fifty years since beginning as a high school Italian teacher in 1972, Tamburri has established himself as a leading scholar in Italian and Italian American studies, advocating for the recognition and institutionalization of these fields within academia. Tamburri's research encompasses literature, cinema, semiotics, interpretation theory, and cultural studies, with particular focus on the relationship between Italian studies and Italian diaspora studies. He has authored sixteen books and over one hundred essays in English and Italian, dividing his intellectual work evenly between Italian and Italian American subject areas. His scholarship critically examines issues of ethnic identity, cultural representation, and the historical experiences of Italian immigrants in the United States, challenging the marginalization of Italian American culture in academic settings. His recent publications reveal consistent focus on challenging misconceptions about Italian American identity, advocating for proper historical understanding, and examining political dimensions of ethnic representation. Tamburri's work addresses the tension between 'authentic Italian' culture and Italian American cultural expressions, arguing for recognition of Italian American culture as a legitimate tradition. His scholarship frequently intersects with contemporary political issues regarding immigration, citizenship, and ethnic representation in American society, particularly critiquing the absence of Italian American studies in graduate programs despite New York's large Italian American population. Cavaliere dell'Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana (Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic) As Dean of the Calandra Institute, Tamburri has been instrumental in promoting Italian American studies, though he has expressed frustration that CUNY lacks structured graduate programs in Italian American or Italian Diaspora studies beyond limited MA courses at Queens College. He advocates for creation of master's and doctoral programs to train professionals who can properly research and propagate Italian American history and culture, following the vision of Giovanni Schiavo, whom Tamburri considers the founding voice of Italian American studies. Tamburri also maintains an active Substack newsletter where he engages with current issues affecting Italian Americans.
