My students have long produced superb pieces of research that have taught me so much. Especially in food studies, I feel that there is still much work to be done, and my students’ voices would fill an unmet need for accessible, provocative, and relatable scholarship. On this site, I would like to introduce just some of the work my students are doing. It is by no means comprehensive, and I will be updating regularly. I have categorized the scholarship in several broad categories below.
