Food Justice Activism and Pedagogies cover

Food Justice Activism and Pedagogies: Literacies and Rhetorics for Transforming Food Systems in Local and Transnational Contexts brings together national and transnational scholars from rhetoric, composition, writing studies, and other interdisciplinary fields to address food as a topic of inquiry and a matter of social and environmental justice. The contributors in this edited collection demonstrate that analyzing the literacies, rhetorics, and pedagogies needed to transform food systems is vital to creating sustainable food systems. The contributors advocate that food learning be taught and engaged in at all levels of schooling and in society, including college courses and community settings. Scholars of rhetoric, literacy studies, interdisciplinary food studies, and sociology will find this book of particular interest.

“Food Justice Activism and Pedagogies represents the next stage in the continued development and engagement of writing and rhetoric scholars with food systems and food justice. As in other key collections from our field, this book shares the engaged work of researchers and teachers with their communities, specifically their food communities. Contributors illustrate the field’s unique ability to connect rhetorical theories with literacy practices in local contexts; in this case, such connections provide a clearer view of the state of food justice globally and locally, as well as how we might engage in and impact food justice work.” -- Mike Pennell, University of Kentucky
