dealt with on a local level in really interesting ways it helped them i think become less overwhelmed and more focused in how they understood that they could learn their education use their education for something really meaningful
Sure.
I had multiple audiences in mind, and so I wanted to think about how to craft a book that could be both important for scholars and teachers and then also useful to activists and organizers.
So first I'm thinking about, let's say, the community members or the lay audience, people who don't know much about food studies and who want an introduction to food studies can read it and I think learn some interesting and important things about how to approach their purchases and their support of certain companies and things like that.
I also wanted to give
ways in which organizations, activists or organizers could think about putting together events for the public that helps to move public opinion forward or helps people understand complex issues in ways that resonate and that they can engage with.
And then finally, and perhaps like the first audience that I was thinking about is other teachers and scholars, other academics who might be teaching a variety of different subjects around social issues or environmental issues.
How do we get our students engaged?
How do we have our work have impact in the community?
How do we do outreach to the community?
So I wanted people to use my story of food work as a way to help them imagine what they could do with their own classes and scholarship.
You mentioned the co-authorship.
in the book and the student projects, it was so important to me to invite the voices of all of these people I had worked with over the years to tell their stories, to talk about their incredible work.
And then each of them had the opportunity to say whether they wanted to be a co-author on the chapter.
And that I think is just the right thing to do.
They were so fundamental in shaping my ideas and the way in which I worked.
I really feel like they co-authored the book with me in that all of our projects together are what make the book what it is.
I've written in other places, and I feel this really strongly.
I think there's a push in scholarship, especially in the humanities, maybe.
to have a single authored work.
