where they knew their farmer, they had relationships that were good with the land, they had ethical practices with animals.
You know, there were like these other considerations and distance was not always foregrounded.
So that's where this investigation really began.
And it was interesting for my students to read those interviews, read the media discourse analyses that we did in the next semester.
And I kept having my students like reading previous students' work.
And so I wanted them to think about their work as meaningful, think about the work as like building knowledge.
And then like, what do we do with it each semester?
And so every semester from that 2014 interview semester on, I would let my students choose the project in the last half of the course.
And we would think, where do we go now?
Given what we know, where do we go now?
Who do we need to connect with?
How do we help communities understand ways in which local food is discussed and then write their own definitions that are meaningful for them based on
knowledge that we can share, literacy events that we can put on, but then that they really can build their own definition and that these definitions will accumulate and start to have impact on policy and on ways in which people understand food production.
So distributed definition building was a way for saying, if companies, if restaurants, if the government are all disagreeing about what local food is, and these are all kind of the people in charge, then can we, at a kind of grassroots level, have people with knowledge and understanding start to form their own definitions for what they want to support?
Everything local is going to be particular to the locale.
That sounds obvious.
But what I mean is my curricular work, my projects that I do with my partners might be very different from what someone would be doing with their partners in Canada.
let's say Detroit, or even what I was doing when I moved to Denver.
The food scene was totally different, even 35 miles down the road in Denver from what it is in Boulder.
So in Boulder, there are farms and farmers who are predominantly who are leasing land from Boulder County Open Space and City of Boulder.
