Key Words: Southern Foodways; Critical Race Studies; Human Geography

Research Description: My current research and teaching goals are closely aligned; I am interested primarily in studying food systems to better understand and contest broader social systems and phenomena. Through work with my students and the Southern Foodways Alliance, I am investigating the connections between the food system and: migration between the Global and U.S. South; structural racism; economic inequality; and demographic and culinary changes in the American South.
