Digesting Food Studies—Episode 120: Carceral Food Systems
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2739060/

This episode considers carceral food systems and the roles food plays in expressing identity and liberty, as well as oppression and power.

Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment starts it off with a historical record of how WWII prisoners of war in Singapore dealt with hunger, privation, and the distribution of food labour.

After that, Amanda Wilson discusses themes from the May 2025 themed section of Canadian Food Studies that she co-edited, “Exploring Carceral Food Systems” (https://canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cfs/issue/view/39).

And, closing things out, chef-activist-PhD student Joshna Maharaj responds to Kelsey Timler’s article, “Protest pizzas: Resisting carcerality with storytelling, community building, and an array of toppings” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i1.696)
