Abstract:
This quarter I will be continuing to deepen my understanding of the social and ecological implications of our food systems through the lens of critical eating studies. I will explore how we can disturb the “business as usual” foodie mindset. I will learn how food justice researchers and authors are paving a path away from unethical and exploitive frameworks and forging new paths that explore ecological solutions and are finding ways to decolonize social eating practices. I will deconstruct the farm to table commodified eating experience as well as continue to establish the skills necessary to become a professional in the coordination of fundraising events field of work.
