  My work focuses on the intersection of urban and environmental studies with an emphasis on food politics. I am interested in the way in which food shapes both the physical environment as well as our social communities and vice versa. In addition, I have worked with co-operatives as a way of imagining a different food economy governed by democratic values; grassroots community organizations to educate about food systems and social justice; a government-funded initiative to increase food access; and urban agriculture ventures on the east and west coasts. My most recent work explores how disability studies might strengthen food justice scholarship.
