Food Justice Activism and Pedagogies: Literacies and Rhetorics for
Transforming Food Systems in Local and Transnational Contexts
brings together national and transnational scholars in the field of
rhetoric, composition, writing studies, and other interdisciplinary
fields to address food as a topic of inquiry and a matter of social
and environmental justice. The contributors in this edited
collection demonstrate that analyzing the literacies, rhetorics,
and pedagogies needed to transform food systems is vital to
creating sustainable food systems. The contributors advocate that
food learning be taught and engaged at all levels of schooling and
in society, including college courses and community settings.
Scholars of rhetoric, interdisciplinary food studies, and sociology
will find this book of particular interest.
"Rhetorica in Motion" is the first collected work to investigate
feminist rhetorical research methods in both contemporary and
historical contexts. The contributors analyze the decision-making
processes and methodologies employed in deciphering the origins,
meanings, theories, workings, and manifestations of feminist
rhetoric.
The volume examines familiar themes, such as archival, literary,
and online research, but also looks to other areas of rhetoric,
such as disability studies; gerontology/aging studies; Latina/o,
queer, and transgender studies; performance studies; and
transnational feminisms in both the United States and larger
geopolitical spaces. "Rhetorica in Motion" incorporates previous
views of feminist research, outlines a set of principles that
guides current methods, and develops models for undertaking future
inquiry, including working as individuals or balancing the dynamics
of group research. The text explores how feminist research embodies
what has come before and reflects what researchers, institutions,
and instructors bring to it and what it brings to them. Underlying
the discovery of this volume is the understanding that feminist
rhetoric is in constant motion in a dynamic that resists
definition.

"Rural Literacies" identifies the problems inherent in trying to
understand rural literacy, addresses the lack of substantive
research on literacy in rural areas, and reviews traditional
misrepresentations of rural literacy.
This innovative volume frames debates over literacy in relation to
larger social, political, and economic forces, such as the impact
of the No Child Left Behind Act on rural schools and the effects of
out-migration, globalization, and the loss of small family farms on
rural communities.
Drawing upon traditional literacy and composition research and
employing theory from education and sociology, the text engages
compositionists in broader conversations regarding rural
literacies. The authors share strategies that will help
compositionists participate in pedagogies that are rooted in a
richer understanding of rural literacies and work toward
sustainability for all communities in a globalized age.
