Obtained a new certification: "AUAI: Experimenter" from Biggio Center at Auburn University! Part of my month-long deep dive into how to use AI tools for food studies, STS, and humanities research and teaching. Will be sharing ideas in the months to come. I welcome your thoughts here on how to use AI.

Did this fun interview about my book, From Label to Table, with two food historians Kelly Spring and Matt Phillpott, part of their "Hungry Historians" podcast for The Fork Front - Kelly Spring : open.spotify.com/episode/1QYVnu… It's a new food studies series, but they've already lined up great speakers.

Check out this fun chat I had with historian David Parsons about "MAHA Moms" and food politics past and present on his podcast, Nostalgia Trap, "Ep 416 - America Eats Itself w/Xaq Frohlich": patreon.com/posts/13191408…. (Also on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and YouTube). #FromLabelToTable

One more AI-related course certificate received! This one for Auburn University's Writing Across the Curriculum course "Teaching Critical Thinking with AI-Engaged Writing Assignments." If you have any ideas for good university-level AI-engaged assignments, I'd love to hear them!

Wrote a review for H-Net Reviews of this great #foodstudies book, Ways of Eating, by Wurgaft & White: h-net.org/reviews/showre… Choice quote: “many of the things we imagine to be traditional or permanent features of our lives with food are, in fact, very recent arrivals.”

Auburn-Opelika people, I'm giving a talk at the Museum of East Alabama in ten days: Saturday, July 26th 11-12PM. It's free and open to the public. I'll be using my book, From Label to Table (University of California Press (is on Bluesky), 2023), to talk about recent happenings in food politics. Join us for the conversation!
