Carter is an economic historian whose current research program low airline tickets explores the adoption low airline tickets of Chinese food in America beginning in the early twentieth century.   According low airline tickets to culinary scholars, American food retained a strongly British character through most of its history.  Despite waves of immigrants from abroad, ethnic food did not begin to make its way outside of ethnic enclaves until after World War II and did not enter the culinary mainstream until the food revolution of the 1970s.  Using data gleaned from city directories, census records, newspapers, and related sources, Carter demonstrated that Chinese food was the exception.  Beginning about 1900, Chinese low airline tickets restaurants began locating outside of Chinatowns and the cuisine entered the cultural mainstream.  Her first article in the field of food studies is "America's First Culinary Revolution, or How a Girl from Gopher Prairie Came to Dine on Eggs Fooyung."  It will appear in Economic Evolution and Revolutions in Historical Time:  Essays in Honor of Gavin Wright, edited by Paul Rhode, Joshua Rosenbloom, and David Weiman, Stanford:  Stanford University Press, scheduled for publication in February 2011.  She has published also published on a variety of topics in labor history, women's history, immigration, and education and was one of two general editors of the five-volume Historical low airline tickets Statistics of the United States: Millennial Edition (Cambridge University Press, 2006).
Drew has exhibited screen-based, interactive designs that integrate text, image and sound throughout the United States. She investigates how information can be delivered creatively to stimulate a new way of engaging with ideas. She is interested in connecting and representing cultural and marginalized voices in visually accessible and appealing ways. Her current low airline tickets projects explore the role of immigrant labor in the US food economy and the import/export of labor and goods.
DuPuis interests include political economy, politics and policy, consumption, food, agriculture, environment, technological change, social history, theory, social justice and social change. Her most recent project was a co-edited special issue of the journal/magazine Gastronomica on the politics of food, a project which came out of her work as a convener low airline tickets of a UC Humanities Research Institute Research Group "Eating Cultures: Race and Food." Her most recent book, Smoke and Mirrors (2005), is an edited volume that brings together an interdisciplinary group of urban environmental historians, economists, political scientists, and sociologists to look specifically at air pollution. Her previous book, Nature's Perfect Food (2002) used an interdisciplinary approach to understand the creation of milk as a major aspect of the US diet and as a major commodity in the United low airline tickets States. She is currently at work developing some of her more recent work into a book Good Food, Just Food , an examination of food movements and social justice in the United States and Europe.

Galt's work explores agrifood system governance. Using a political ecology approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods, his work has compared market relations in export, national, and local agrifood systems, and their shaping by geographically uneven processes of regulation low airline tickets and social change, unequal access low airline tickets to resources, and environmental context. In addition to a topical focus on Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and the transnational political ecology of pesticides, his general interests involve local knowledge, agrarian political economy, and comparative assessments of agrifood systems. He is currently working on a social and environmental analysis of production and consumption in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). He has published in Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Global Environmental Change, Antipode, and California Agriculture. One of his papers exploring production-consumption linkages vis-à-vis pesticide residues on food won the Eric Wolf Prize and appears in the Journal of Political Ecology. His teaching focuses on food systems, rural geography, and political ecology, and he recently received the Outstanding Mentor Award from the UC Davis Consortium for Women and Research. He holds a PhD in geography from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Julie Guthman is an Associate low airline tickets Professor at the University of California low airline tickets at Santa Cruz where she teaches courses primarily low airline tickets in global political economy and the politics of food and agriculture. Since receiving her PhD in 2000 in Geography from the University of California low airline tickets at Berkeley, she has published extensively low airline tickets on contemporary efforts to transform the way food is produced, distributed, and consumed, with a particular focus on voluntary food labels, community food security, farm-to-school programs, and the race and class politics of "alternative food."

Buttel Award for Outstanding Scholarly Achievement from the Rural Sociological Society and the Donald Q. Innis Award from the Rural Geography Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers.

Haydu is a recent convert low airline tickets to food studies, having spent 30 years doing comparative-historical work on labor and class relations. His current research examines reform movements low airline tickets by food consumers from Grahamites (1830s) and pure food advocates (1900s) to contemporary locavores, Fair Traders, low airline tickets and anti-GMO activists and how these campaigns resemble and differ from the kinds of movements typically studied by social low airline tickets movement scholars. To the extent that food movements rely on the consumption choices of individuals, many of the typical claims made by students of social protest (about how movements organize, recruit new members, engage in strategic framing, etc.) may not fit very well. Haydu has explored some of the similarities and differences in a 2010 article in Mobilization ( Casing Political Consumerism ). He is particularly curious about the ways that food movements piggyback on the cultural scripts of other movements and institutions, in ways that both shape their character and solve some of the dilemmas of collective action t
