Hungry for Change, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Hungry for Change demonstrates how students, staff, and faculty are working towards food systems transformation on, and beyond, the post-secondary campus.

Through careful curation of chapters and a substantive introduction, this collection provides empirical depth while laying essential analytical groundwork demonstrating the connections between seemingly discrete and disconnected campus-based food movements. Drawing on critical food studies and critical university studies, this book proposes the new subfield of "critical campus food studies" as a distinct analytical approach for understanding how campuses, and their actors, are implicated in reproducing and resisting food injustice. Read through this lens, the chapters in this collection situate on-campus food justice interventions within broader structural and scalar food systems and post-secondary institutional dynamics. The contributors to this book enliven food systems scholarship while introducing new conceptual and theoretical tools for understanding socio-ecological and food systems change on and through the campus.

Hungry for Change provides a platform to those on campuses struggling for more just and sustainable food systems through a variety of contribution types, from conventional research chapters to field notes and photovoice essays. It is essential reading for students, staff, and faculty invested in the scholarship and practicalities of movements for food justice.
