Rebecca Som Castellano, was invited to present at the special session on the Community Action Research Initiative (CARI) at the 2015 annual meeting of the American Sociological Association. Som Castellano was awarded a CARI Grant in 2014, which supported her work on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, where she worked collaboratively with the community to assess food concerns, among other needs and desires.
In addition, a paper co-authored by Som Castellano and Analena Bruce, a graduate student of sociology at Rutgers, recently was presented at the Rural Sociological Society’s annual meeting in Madison, Wisconsin. The paper examines the ways in which labor issues in the spheres of production and consumption potentially limit the scaling up of alternative agriculture and food initiatives.
