My research focuses on urban food systems and addresses food access, social justice, regional governance and community economic development. Prior to joining OSU, I served on the Boards of Directors of community housing development organizations, worked with local grassroots food advocacy groups in Kentucky and Florida and, co-organised an interdisciplinary symposium on social justice. My research also entails studies on food access and community development in the Caribbean and Central America.
