Gian Marco Farese is a research associate in linguistics in the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy at Chapman University and honorary lecturer in linguistics at the Australian National University. He adopts the methodology of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage to carry out research in the cultural semantics of Italian, Japanese and English. Gian Marco’s research interests include the relationship between language and culture, cross-linguistic semantics, translation studies, cross-cultural communication and the relationship between language and music. Before receiving a PhD in Linguistics from the ANU, he received a BA in Cultural and Linguistic Mediation from the University of Naples L’Orientale (2011) and a Master in English Linguistics from the University College London (2013).

Gian Marco collaborated with the Italian Embassy in Canberra on the promotion of Italian language and culture in Australia. He was the organiser and presenter of the 2017 event on the Italian Constitution, which was presented for the first time ever to an English speaking audience.
