  Stella Grigorian has a master's in sociology and a PhD in anthropology. She is currently faculty in the department of Sociology at the University of Houston. She is also the graduate faculty advisor and Chair of the graduate committee. Her early research interests involved the study of the Soviet Union, especially of Soviet Armenia. Her field work explored the raise of nationalism and gender formation at the end of the Soviet period. While her work has always involved some form of research in eating and drinking foodways, her present interests are in immigrant food narratives and ethnic grocery stores as social spaces where ethnic identity is negotiated and in the development of Armenia's new wine sector.
