商品描述
This book offers fresh perspectives on issues of food justice. The chapters emerged from a series of annual workshops on food justice held at Michigan State University between 2013 and 2015, which brought together a wide variety of interested people to learn from and work with each other. Food justice can be studied from such diverse perspectives as philosophy, anthropology, economics, gender and sexuality studies, geography, history, literary criticism, philosophy and sociology as well as the human dimensions of agricultural and environmental sciences. As such, interdisciplinary workshops are a much-needed vehicle to improve our understanding of the subject, which is at the center of a vibrant and growing discourse not only among academics from a wide range of disciplines but also among policy makers and community activists. The book includes their perspectives, offering a wide range of approaches to and conceptions of food justice in a variety of contexts. This invaluable work requires readers to cross boundaries and be open to new ideas based on different assumptions.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了對食品正義議題的新視角。各章節源自於2013年至2015年間在密西根州立大學舉辦的一系列年度食品正義工作坊，這些工作坊聚集了各種有興趣的人士，讓他們彼此學習和合作。食品正義可以從哲學、人類學、經濟學、性別與性研究、地理學、歷史、文學批評、社會學以及農業和環境科學的人文面向等多種不同的視角進行研究。因此，跨學科的工作坊是提升我們對這一主題理解的必要途徑，這一主題不僅在各種學科的學者之間引發了活躍且日益增長的討論，也在政策制定者和社區活動家之間引起了關注。本書包含了他們的觀點，提供了在各種情境下對食品正義的多樣化方法和概念。這部寶貴的著作要求讀者跨越界限，並對基於不同假設的新觀念保持開放。
