my research uses a food systems lens to better understand the importance of, and connections between social justice, ecological regeneration, regional economies and active democratic engagement. working directly with a range of scholars and community-based practitioners across north america and europe, i study the evolution of the broader collective of social movement networks which views the right to food as a central component of more sustainable futures.
mobilizing existing partnerships, i integrate my research and teaching through community engaged learning pedagogies and support 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , community partners and scholars to be actively involved in knowledge cogeneration. through community-based, action-oriented inquiry and teaching and the development of placed-based action projects, my research contributes to critical discussions that inform theory, civil society action and public policy.
i have also been involved in community food security and food sovereignty efforts for over 15 years and have worked as a community-based researcher, operated an organic farm and led programming with non-profit organizations across canada and in the middle east.
