The pandemic and international racial injustices have heightened the need for instructors to embed topics related to equity, justice and anti-oppression into their courses to increase learner capacity (or competency) to engage with these topics, but many are unsure how to do this. The Just Food project explores social justice issues by employing food as a pedagogical tool to connect theoretical understandings and terminology to elements of the day-to-day.
This session will highlight the following:
- How to navigate the Just Food website and access resources housed on it
- Identify ways educators can engage with the online resources
- Suggest methods to use and adapt the modules for use in educator’s (virtual) classrooms
The Just Food project website includes seven learning modules on various food systems themes (such as a food justice primer, migrant labour, indigenous foodways, international development) and a facilitator’s guide. Each learning module contains a backgrounder on the theme, suggested learning outcomes, sample readings and discussion questions, in-depth activity instructions, and examples of assessments. The learning modules are suitable for adaptation across many disciplines, including agriculture, food studies, nutrition, geography, sociology, anthropology, education, planning, political sciences, and more.
Facilitators:
- Rachel Cheang, Just Food Project Assistant
- Meryn Corkery, Just Food Project Assistant
