Everywhere you go in the U.S. these days, from the White House to your neighbor’s house, people are talking about food.
These conversations did not emerge out of nowhere, however, but are the result of a specific set of discourses about agriculture, food production, and gastronomy that have been circulating for decades.
This talk will examine one such discourse—the agrarian critique of industrialism—that has had an outsized influence on contemporary food politics in the U.S.

"Carson Fellow from September 2011 to February 2012 Daniel Philippon’s scholarship is grounded most firmly in the area of literary criticism known as "ecocriticism," but it is also strongly influenced by current work in environmental history, environmental ethics, and conservation biology.He is also a past president of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE)" (source Carson Richard Center)
