"I have always admired Dr. Jennifer Clapp’s work and was fortunate to be able to work with her during my master’s and PhD. Dr. Clapp’s ability to see the big picture and identify causal forces that many overlook is always so impressive to me. Dr. Ryan Isakson is also a scholar that I look up to for his ability to skillfully communicate complex dynamics in our food system. Dr. Isakson is also my postdoctoral supervisor, and I should mention that both Dr. Clapp and Dr. Isakson have written a fascinating book on financialization in the food system, entitled Speculative Harvests." - Phoebe Stephens

The food studies landscape is rich with scholars whose work expands our understanding of the world in which we live. Whose work has challenged and guided your own?

"For this call, we suggest the concept of extreme foods, to explore foodstuffs and eating practices that in certain situations and contexts, for different reasons and in different ways, are pushed to the margins of the mainstream, while yet held symbolically important (Matejowsky 2013). By making what is perceived as extreme elements our focal points when studying food and eating practices (Veeck 2010; Rozin 1999) we wish to make boundaries visible: geographical, cultural, political, emotional and artistic. We move our attention to the verge of things."
