The Journal of Inclusive Scholarship and Pedagogy
ANNOUNCES A SPECIAL ISSUE

TEACHING FOOD

Guest Editors: Deirdre J. Murphy with Ada Ortuzar-Young

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The editors seek jargon-free articles (5,000-10,000 words) and media
essays (overviews on books, film, video, performance, art, music,
websites, etc. 3,000 to 5,000 words) and items for an occasional
feature, “The Material Culture of Teaching,” that explore the uses of
food in all pedagogical contexts and disciplinary perspectives.

The availability of food has shaped civilizations, motivated
explorations, trade and imperialism, and has prompted technological
advances. From iconic representations, to unease over the state of the
current global food system, to culinary fads or concerns for health,
food is at the forefront of public and personal debates, and it has
become a powerful site of analysis in the practice of teaching.

Submissions should explore strategies for teaching about in the
classroom and in non-traditional spaces (such as the media and public
discourse). We welcome essays from all disciplinary and
interdisciplinary perspectives.

Transformations publishes only essays that focus on pedagogical praxis
and/or pedagogical theory.
