Call for papers for the 2011 Society for Applied Anthropology Conference!

Striving for Food Democracy: The Potential of Campus-Community Partnerships

Applied social scientists have taken an active role in re-envisioning more just and democratic food systems through building dynamic campus-community partnerships and innovative research practices. These projects have highlighted the race and class-based patterns of unequal food access, the processes and limitations of food system localization, and the health-related consequences of diet and food-based disparities. This session explores the opportunities for applied social science methodologies in researching food injustices in the urban United States and the possibilities for transformation.

If you are interested in submitting a paper abstract for this session, please contact Teresa Mares teresamares@gmail.com or Megan Carney megcarney@gmail.com.
