Additional information
Julie Guthman is an Assistant Professor in Community Studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz where she teaches courses in global political economy and the politics of food and agriculture. Her 2004 book, Agrarian Dreams: The Paradox of Organic Farming in California, examines how the California organic sector intersected with California’s agrarian history to replicate many aspects of industrial agriculture that it set out to oppose and, in particular, how social justice issues were shunted aside in the codification of organic agriculture. Her more recent research looks at other ways in which neo-liberalism – as both a political economic project and a form of governmentality – shapes the politics of the possible in food politics more broadly. Her new research directions involve the articulations of race, alternative food movements, and the politics of obesity.
