Most recently, I have been analyzing and comparing food security policy and food sovereignty discourses in their relationship to world hunger in a series of articles and book chapters. I have also examined questions of vulnerability in alternative food networks in the urbanizing landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the feminist political ecology of alternative agriculture. I am currently working on an analysis of food and eating in Quebec and its relationship to class and gender formation among rural and working class French-Canadians.
