Welcome to this blog, created by students in Dr. Peña’s environmental anthropology class at the University of Washington. For the remainder of the quarter we hope to cover a wide variety of topics relating to the interactions between people and food. Our scope is broad, as we will be considering movements in the U.S. and also abroad.
Introducing the team members:
Dannah is interested in sustainable agricultural development, especially in Ghana.
Cary hopes to focus on sustainable agriculture, PNW native species and local movements, such as Seattle Tilth.
Angela will cover community gardens, starting with Detroit.
Rachel’s interests lie in the current controversies surrounding taro cultivation in the South Pacific and Hawaii.
Sabine wants to cover urban farming in Seattle and how that brings us closer to the food we eat.
Jon is also interested in urban agriculture, especially its prevalence in developing countries.
Michael wants to cover current small-scale changes impacting how we distribute food, and how this could apply to the larger population.
Ivey is most interested in women and gender roles in food and agriculture.
Mindy will be writing about restaurant food waste programs and how they can expand.
Mario wants to cover how food creates community and family relationships.
Don’t expect us to stick solely to these topics, but this is where we’ll start. As you can see, we've already had a number of posts. Happy reading!
