Hi everyone What a pleasure to be part…
Hi everyone,
What a pleasure to be part of this group! I’m still having trouble accessing the posted article from Cultural Geographies, but hopefully I’ll figure out a way to read it this week. I’ll also try to find some interesting material to post that we can all discuss.
Wishing you well – Cathy
catherine, 
valentine, and 
Brian are discussing.

Hi Cathy,
I have updated the posted file. The earlier one appears to have been corrupted, but this one should work.

Re: the article (which has now been emailed around a couple of times for those who haven’t been able to download it) It’s a good piece, which I’ve been enjoying teaching for the last few years. I look forward to hearing how this plays out for you all — I’m definitely finding part of the challenge of food system work to be getting a few different groups to stay in conversation, and they all make thematic appearances here: the food security/food access/social justice-interested people (especially those working on race and equity issues), the people interested in creating better market conditions for alternative food producers, and the people who are running the existing food system (and who may or may not have stakes in maintaining or changing features of it).

I agree, it is a great piece. I love how her students were able to witness the challenges impacting the success of the evaluated programs and had opportunities to break through the limits of their own biases.
