What's For Dinner?

Teresa Mares is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at University of Vermont and affiliate of its Transdisciplinary Research Initiative in Food Systems. We discuss why citizens engage in tough and complex food justice issues like the fight against corporate promotion of GMOs in Africa and the severe conditions migrant workers experience due to immigration enforcement in New England. The interview draws on Teresa's experience during her Ph.D. studies working with Community Alliance for Global Justice in Seattle and her current development of a new project on food access and food security among Vermont Latino & dairy workers. Teresa's work focuses on food and migration studies and changes in diets and foodways as a result of migration.
