New Books in Environmental Studies · Veronica House, "Local Organic: Food Rhetorics and Community Writing for Impact" (Utah State UP, 2025) · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

I had to keep revising and trying to keep up with what Boulder County was doing and what my partners were doing to be accountable to them.

And I hope I did a good job with that.

It also means that I know I'm going to screw up.

And that's okay as long as I am honest about it and try to do better.

Some projects fell flat and didn't do much.

Others were really successful and exciting.

And again, that's okay as long as your partners that you're working with understand the products that might come out of the partnership and the intention behind it.

So some of them, for example, they knew they were working with first-year writers.

They knew the writing might not be, you know, publishable right away on their website or something like that.

But they were so excited about getting students invested in the work and getting students excited about the work.

That, for them, was the purpose of the project, regardless of the outcome.

For others, you know, they were like, we want blog posts that we need to publish twice a week, every week, and we need your students to...

you know, meticulously revise these blog posts.

So, you know, that was something else that we contended with as we worked with the students.

So I think that the accountability has to always be front and center.

And that necessarily means a lot of humility and just let ego go.

It doesn't have a place in this work.

That's really vital.

I mean, I talk in the book about watching my students kind of hit an emotional wall after reading a lot of the national work on food.

We all, including myself, we get to a point where we're like, I can't eat anything without a million problems coming up with what I'm eating.
