ABSTRACT

While still quite modest, the body of scholarship on pedagogy related to teaching for more socio-ecologically just food systems is growing. However, this body of work is largely silent on the conditions within which food systems learning occurs. This is a curious omission given that the institutional context within which formalized food system learning happens has perhaps never been more threatened by ongoing process of neoliberalization. This article builds on the claim that in order to be genuinely transformative, critical food systems education (CFSE) must attend to the conceptual and normative complexity of the food system, while also attending to the conditions and institutions within which formal food systems learning exists. We share our experience with a modest intervention, the Alternative Campus Tour (ACT), and frame this as a pragmatic way to operationalize CFSE in a way that also serves as an opportunity to expose and problematize the conditions of the neoliberal university that undermine the promise of a transformative CFSE.

摘要

尽管还算不算什么，但与教学有关社会生态学的粮食系统教学有关的教育学的学术机构正在增长。但是，这项工作在很大程度上不涉及食物系统学习发生的条件。鉴于正在进行的新自由化进程可能从未威胁到正规食品系统学习发生的制度背景，这是一个奇怪的遗漏。本文基于这样的主张，即要真正实现变革，关键的食品系统教育（CFSE）必须关注食品系统的概念和规范复杂性，同时还要关注存在正式食品系统学习的条件和机构。我们会在适度的干预下（另类校园游（ACT））分享我们的经验，
