‘Food Cultures and Social Justice’ conference brings hundreds to OSU; highlights equity, sustainability’ today.oregonstate.edu/all-stories/... #ASFS40 #FoodJustice25

As team member, Laura Kitchings, prepares to present at #ASFS40 at Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis, we found 1920 Boston Voter Lorna C. (Collamore) Jessup, who later served as the Dean of Women at the University. 🧵 Image : Corvallis Gazette-Times, Sat, Mar 29, 1958 ·Page 5

Also spotted at our @foodcultures.bsky.social tables was Molly Anderson, @routledgehistory.bsky.social author of Transforming Food Systems: Narratives of Power. #ASFS40 #FoodJustice2025

Fascinating provocation during this presentation at #asfs40 / #foodjustice2025: can you think of a single media product today (books, TV, movies) set in the future that is NOT a dystopia? (Note: The Jetsons doesn't count, since new episodes are no longer being produced...)

Fascinating observations by Diana Garvin about the adoption of electric cooking technology during the Fascist period of Italy (1922-1945) as facilitating the "gentrification of women's bodies"...really smart insights about the materiality of the fascist kitchen. #asfs40 #foodjustice2025

Today at @foodcultures.bsky.social we met @illinoispress.bsky.social author Rachel E. Black, with her book Cheffes de Cuisine & @ucpress.bsky.social author & conference organizer Emily Yates-Doerr with Mal-Nutrition: Maternal Health Science and the Reproduction of Harm #ASFS40 #FoodJustice2025
