ABSTRACT Experiential learning has long been a part of higher-education food and agricultural training. This paper focuses on experiential learning in a graduate food studies course on dairy. It suggests that relationships and camaraderie built in part through an experiential approach to learning may act as mediator and facilitator of both empathetic and critical thought around food and agriculture. Shared experiences outside the classroom may also help create a foundation for deep engagement among students and democratized discussions in the classroom. While this kind of approach may not be viable in every institution or situation, this paper seeks to contribute to a growing literature around a variety of teaching strategies that can play a role in food systems education.

ABSTRACT This paper follows a flat ontology of actor network theory to trace the social as an interconnected web of relations that do not necessarily cohere. Tea is an essential actant in the tea ceremony, but tea itself is its own web. This paper works with both the concept and the empirical case (tea) of materiality, trying to bring them into conversation. I propose an empirical-theoretical assemblage that does not follow a linear and smooth explanatory narrative. It aims to provide one among many webs of relations connected to tea: how the making process of tea affects the taste of tea, which is a complicated process involving human and non-human factors; the aging process of tea, which speaks to the agentic quality of object; how the taste of tea affects people’s emotional and affective state. The competing theoretical discourses on materiality are brought together by the ANT approach and the specific associations of tea enrich our understanding of the theoretical literatures and food studies.

ABSTRACT What can Pekin duck tell us about diaspora and settler colonialism? In this paper we answer this question by introducing “eating dialectically,” inspired by community activist Grace Lee Bogg’s understandings of “thinking dialectically” and her challenge for us to “grow our souls” in the context of many crises we continually face. We focus on how Pekin duck is consumed and produced within the Greater Toronto Area. This piece offers three duck meals to ruminate on often ignored connections between diasporic foodways in multicultural cities and the rural areas that provide them ingredients. We present and troubleshoot a practice of “eating dialectically” which aims not only to raise critical food consciousness but also push us all to reimagine ourselves, our futures, and the foods that feed our souls anew. We conclude by briefly discussing the limitations of eating dialectically and our abilities to reimagine ourselves and our food futures.

Dr Hi’ilei Hobart and Dr Emily Yates-Doerr delivered keynote talks at the international Conference Food Matters and Materialities: Critical Understandings of Food Cultures (September 2021) which we, Myriam Durocher and Irena Knezevic, co-organized. We invited Dr Hobart and Dr Yates-Doerr to present their work given its important contributions to critical food studies, especially through exploring unfair and unequal relationships to and through food. At the Conference, Dr Hobart shared insights from her fieldwork in an encampment at Pu’uhonua o Pu’uhuluhulu at the summit of Mauna Kea, detailing practices of resistance led by Indigenous communities, and the role of food and ice in these practices. Dr Yates-Doerr shared insights and stories emerging from her fieldwork in Guatemala, proposing reflections on how we might want to do and share research in food studies otherwise. Dr Sophie Chao and Dr Natali Valdez were the discussants for Dr Hobart and Dr Yates-Doerr talks, respectively. Their talks resonated powerfully with the Conference theme as we aimed to address how power relationships take form
Hi 'ilei Hobart博士和Emily Yates-Doerr博士在我们Myriam Durocher和Irena Knezevic共同组织的国际会议“食品问题和材料:对食品文化的批判性理解”(2021年9月)上发表了主题演讲。我们邀请了Hobart博士和Yates-Doerr博士来介绍他们的工作，因为他们的工作对关键的食物研究做出了重要贡献，特别是通过探索与食物之间不公平和不平等的关系。在会议上，Hobart博士分享了她在莫纳克亚山顶的Pu 'uhonua或Pu 'uhuluhulu营地实地工作的见解，详细介绍了土著社区领导的抵抗做法，以及食物和冰在这些做法中的作用。耶茨-多尔博士分享了她在危地马拉实地工作的见解和故事，并提出了我们如何在其他方面开展和分享食品研究的思考。Sophie Chao博士和Natali Valdez博士分别为Hobart博士和Yates-Doerr博士的讲座做讨论者。他们的谈话与我们旨在探讨权力关系如何形成的会议主题产生了强烈共鸣

ABSTRACT In recent years, quinoa (traditionally grown in South America) has been imagined as a food crop that addresses the world’s most pressing problems: climate change, water scarcity, food insecurity, malnutrition, and economic inequality. Valued for being nutritionally exceptional and resistant to several agronomic stresses, quinoa has attracted the attention of consumers, researchers, and development agencies. This paper focuses on the World Quinoa Congress and other international gatherings of experts (plant scientists, quinoa farmers, social scientists, development practitioners, and entrepreneurs) who produce and share knowledge about quinoa’s cultivation, production, consumption, and diversification. I examine how various actors materialize quinoa through different ways of conceptualizing seeds, property, and knowledge. In some cases, quinoa is part of a larger socioecological system, while in others, seeds are disembedded from their geographical context and studied in terms of their efficiency and yields. I explore the convergence and divergence of knowledges that accompany quinoa’s globalization, shedding light on the frictions, conflicting priorities, opportunities, and questions that arise in spaces of knowledge creation and exchange.

ABSTRACT In this article, we delve into the contexts, knowledge and power relations that lead to the emergence of what we call “healthy” food configurations. These configurations are the result of particular arrangements of realms of practices, sets of knowledge, actors, events, institutions, and more that contribute to the production of various understandings and ways of approaching “healthy” food. Mobilizing a cultural studies approach and theoretical framework, we question the power relations negotiated in how/when/for whom these configurations emerge and what knowledge at the intersection of food, bodies and health they convey and produce. We analyze the elements of local context and the broader socio-cultural ideologies that permeate food cultures and inform these configurations’ emergence. Working with and navigating through public debates, alternative food practices, political and community-based discourses and practices, and food products and trends retrieved from Quebec’s (Canada) food culture, we offer a new way of approaching different understandings of “healthy” food – as many different configurations – to unveil the diversity of the actors, knowledge, and power relations at play in their situated emergence.
