We are pleased to announce the graduate students and projects that have been selected for this year’s Food Studies Graduate Research Grant. The awardees are:
Samantha Ruth Brown, Geography: “Pork Politics: What the Danish Meatball War Can Teach Us About Race, Migration, Identity and Belonging.”
Nakiessa M. Abbassi, Political Science: “Creating a Green Oasis: City Planning Choices Between Economic Growth or Environmental Prosperity.”
Molly Hatay-Ferens, English: “Pastrami on White?: Navigating Unstable Jewish Whiteness through Eating Practices.”
Please join us in congratulating the awardees. They will share the results of their research with the UO food studies community next year with presentations in the “Food Talks” series. Watch for announcements!
The Food Studies Awards Committee and Advisory Council hope that students will consider complementing their degree with a UO Food Studies Graduate Specialization and taking the Food Matters graduate seminar in Fall 2021 (ENVS 607). For more details on this program, please contact Professor Stephen Wooten (swooten@uoregon.edu).
We wish them much success with their research.
