He has written for the website Quillette,[4] as well as the Ludwig von Mises Institute,[5] and has spoken at the think tank Traditional Britain.[6] Parvini is a member of the Heterodox Academy and the Evolution Institute, and attended that Battle of Ideas event run by the Institute of Art and Ideas.[7] He is a Senior Fellow at the Centre for Heterodox Social Science.[8]
Parvini discusses political theories on the rule of elites on his YouTube channel, "Academic Agent".[9]
In Bournbrook Magazine, Alexander Adams describes Parvini's book The Populist Delusion as "an informative, succinctly-written and accessible handbook for those who wish to understand the core principles of elite theory discussed by reactionaries and the dissident right".[9]
In 2024 the advocacy group Hope not Hate described his views as "extreme" and aligned with the "scientific racist community".[10][11]
