DESCRIPTION:Conference: Food/Justice/Healing\n\nOrganized by: Central New Y
 ork Humanities Corridor Working group on “Health Humanities”\n\nRegister at
  tinyurl.com/3m32x8bj \n\nKeynote Address by Hanna Garth\n\nServing the Oth
 er: “Healthy Food” as a Racial Project\n\nOne of the central goals of the f
 ood justice movement is to increase access to and consumption of healthy fo
 od in low-income urban areas known as “food deserts.” Activists understand 
 residents in these areas as unable to access healthy food at relatively lim
 ited numbers of full-service grocery stores\, instead turning to fast food\
 , corner stores and liquor stores for food access. While the mobilization o
 f food justice projects is centered on the concept of “healthy food\,” neit
 her “healthy” nor “food” are explicitly defined. Based on ethnographic rese
 arch conducted in South Central Los Angeles from 2009 to 2020\, this talk i
 lluminates how the concept of “healthy food” is loaded with assumptions abo
 ut the ways different racialized populations eat\, and operates a racial si
 gnifier indexing whiteness and in opposition to Black and Latine ways of ea
 ting. Building on this data\, the talk analyzes conflicting forms of knowle
 dge and everyday practices regarding what is healthy and good for the body.
  \n\nBio:  Hanna Garth is a sociocultural and medical anthropologist who st
 udies food access and the global food system. Her recent work is focused on
  the connections between distribution systems\, structural inequalities\, h
 ealth\, and wellbeing. Specifically\, she studies the ways in which changes
  in the global food system\, and shifts in local food distribution systems 
 impact communities\, families\, and individuals.  She studies these questio
 ns in Latin America and the Caribbean\, and among Black and Latinx communit
 ies in the United States. She is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Pri
 nceton University. She published the book Food in Cuba: The Pursuit of a De
 cent Meal and co-edited the volume Black Food Matters: Food Justice in the 
 Wake of Racial Justice.\n\n \n\nCo-sponsored by Department of Anthropology\
 , Department of Global Development\, Society of the Humanities\, and the Af
 ricana Studies and Research Center. Thank you!
