coe-staff: Food Studies Lecture: Parent Activists vs. The Corporation

[Lisa Fortin]

Sent on behalf of Sarah Stapleton

We are delighted to announce the second Food Talk of 2020! Please join us in Lillis 112 on February 7th, from 3:00-5:00pm, for a presentation by Dr. Sarah Stapleton. She will be discussing her work in the Eugene 4J School District and local parent school food activists.

This talk will detail the story of a group of local parent activists and their founder, Carrie Frazier, who worked for a decade to improve school food in the 4J school district before finally finding success. Sarah Stapleton's research highlights the ways in which this story speaks to the need for school food sovereignty and is another stage in the history of women's activism concerning school food in the US.

Please RSVP to this page OR to the Food Studies Email; foodsudies at uoregon.edu

If you cannot attend, fear not! As with previous Food Talks this academic year, we will be livestreaming and saving the video to this page. Keep an eye out for it!

The event is also scheduled to honor the founder of Kid Food Matters, Carrie Frazier, for her decade laying the groundwork for the seismic shift in school food for 4j.

“Sometimes we just simply have to find a way. The moment we decide to fulfill something, we can do anything. And I’m sure the moment we start behaving as if we were in an emergency, we can avoid climate and ecological catastrophe. Humans are very adaptable: we can still fix this. But the opportunity to do so will not last for long. We must start today. We have no more excuses.” –Greta Thunberg
