Centre for the Study of Theory, Culture & Politics, Trent University

• Graduate Student

  • Sep 2010 - Sep 2015

  My thesis work focuses on the politics and identity of locavorism or eating locally. My research interests center around finding alternative non-commodified modes of circulation of food and an ethic of care approach to the global food chain; the political implications of naturalizing food as commodified; how privilege and culture frame food and health discourses and limit accessibility of food and wellness; how current alternative food movements while framed as radical continually reproduce status quo relations of power and marginalize others.
