Why Does Food Matters for Education Research Addressing Ecological, Environmental, and Social Justice?

Sat, April 18, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Workshop

Abstract

Exploring theoretical origin stories, positionalities, possibilities, and complexities that emerge from diverse critical education researchers discussing how they have found their collaborative research inevitably intertwined with food justice, this workshop focuses specifically on inviting researchers from diverse disciplines to a dialogue on the importance of addressing unidentified cultural assumptions within and among the complex—and often contentious—intersections of food with ecological, environmental, and social justice scholar-activism. The participants in this workshop will share each of their scholar-activist stories of how they found themselves in collaborations considering food as critical to their social and environmental justice work in education. Furthermore, the workshop will invite participants to share their experiences with working critically through the complexities of food, equity, justice, and liberation.
