The purpose of the series is to explore the innovative integration of arts and food into higher education. Each volume aims to inspire a paradigm shift in academia, advocating for a more holistic, creative, and inclusive approach to learning, teaching, researching, serving, and existing in the academy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the present volume, \u003ci\u003eFood Stories \u003c\/i\u003emakes the case that food, and the culture surrounding food, is a closely held—and powerful—reality that shapes who we are as individuals, as members of varied communities, and invariably, informs who we are as educators and researchers. This book gives space for the authors to explore not only the impact that food and culture have had, and continue to have, on them as individuals, how that culture and experiences impact them as members of the academy (in teaching, research, and service), but also in providing some guidance to graduate students and junior faculty. In effect, chapters explore navigating academic work (teaching, research, and service) through the lens of food and the transferable lessons that can be gleaned from our grandmothers’, mothers’, fathers’, and our own kitchens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is often the case that higher education fosters both imposter syndrome and a workaholic disposition that can be detrimental to teaching and research. What this book does, then, is to not only explore the ways in which what may seem as non-academic work such as cooking a meal can have on our work\/life balance but, also, how to incorporate the very lessons of food into who we are as educators, how we teach, and how we can approach the work we do more broadly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through carefully curated chapters, this text presents a wide array of perspectives across food and cultural regions, as well as imparting insights from the academy from authors spanning the spectrum of the career. It is an important book full of valuable lessons for graduate students, faculty and teachers who wish to use its content in their classrooms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for courses such as:\u003c\/b\u003e Cultural Studies; Culturally-Responsive Pedagogy","brand":"Myers Education Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43113987440701,"sku":"9781975506988","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781975506988_p0.jpg?v=1776451234","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781975506988","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
