Teresa Mares

Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern, an associate professor at Syracuse University, and Teresa Mares, an anthropology professor at the University of Vermont, delve into the hidden labor aspects of our food system in their new book. They address crucial issues like farmworker food insecurity and the impact of immigration on labor vulnerability. The conversation also covers the changing dynamics in food processing, retail, and the often-overlooked value of domestic food work. Their insights illuminate the critical need for labor justice and solidarity among food workers.
