Michigan State University's Fourth Annual Workshop on Food Justice:
Bringing Theory and Practice Together

13 and 14 May 2016

Food justice is a growing movement that has inspired both on-the-ground
community projects and theoretical articulations across multiple
disciplines. This workshop aims to help scholars and practitioners identify
and address the challenges and opportunities in food justice. The 2016
workshop will be held May 13th and 14th at MSU and will include scholarly
talks and visits to local environmental justice projects.

We invite proposals on the justice of practices such as:

·     Food security and food sovereignty

·     Local food, slow food, or other food-based social movements

·     International trade and regulation

·     Agricultural ecology and sustainability

·     Labor at all points in the food system

·     Non-human animals in agriculture

·     Food, diet, or cooking

·     Intersectional perspectives on food systems

·     Agricultural policy and food standards

·     Seeds and genetically modified foods

The workshop is intended as a transdisciplinary space to forge connections
between theories and between theory and practice, and papers should be
accessible to a public audience. Previous papers have been informed by
disciplines such as anthropology, critical race studies, disability
studies, indigenous studies, economics, gender and sexuality studies,
geography, history, literary criticism, philosophy, religious studies,
sociology, and the human dimensions of agricultural and environmental
sciences.

250-word abstracts for individual papers or posters, and 500-word panel
proposals, are due by March 4th, 2016. Please submit proposals through the
workshop webpage at workshoponfoodjustice.com/call-for-proposals/ and
direct any questions to [log in to unmask]
