SUMMARY:Feeding the Hamlets: Exploring the History of Food Production in the Borough
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition uses the unique collections of Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives as a lens through which to explore the borough’s history of producing food. \nFor centuries\, the East End’s landscape and social and economic history have been influenced by the growing\, trading or manufacturing of food. Before 1800 farmland and market gardens characterised the area\, but rapid industrialisation saw this pastoral tradition give way to the factories and warehouses producing food for mass consumption nationwide and globally. Close proximity to the docks ensured that food businesses based in the East End had ready access to a fresh supply of raw ingredients\, within many supplies imported from countries colonised by Britain. \nPhotographs\, deeds\, plans\, minutes\, illustrations and maps are among the many unique items selected by staff.  These sources illustrate fascinating and lesser-known tales from the history of food production in the East End – from flour milling and sugar refining to cow-keeping and vegetable growing. \nThe exhibition looks at the methods and sites where food production took place\, as well as the people who were involved. A programme of free events is taking place to explore the exhibition’s themes in more detail. \nFeeding the Hamlets will run until early 2023. If you would like to bring a group or class for a tour or workshop inspired by the display\, please get in touch at localhistory@towerhamlets.gov.uk \nFor Opening times and dates\, click here

SUMMARY:Mapping the Food Supply Chain for Disadvantaged Communities in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Despite many efforts by the government and citizens of the United Kingdom to address food insecurity and poverty\, available data on diet-related health\, food quality\, affordability and accessibility indicate the situation to be worsening. The effects of recent events such as the country’s final exit from the European Union\, the COVID19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have further accentuated this. \nEmmanuel will discuss the role logistics and supply chain management could play in addressing this challenge by presenting a map of the food supply chain that serves disadvantaged consumers to identify the infrastructure\, processes\, key challenges and supply chain solutions. \nSpeaker Bio \nDr Emmanuel Sawyerr has expertise in supply chain resilience\, procurement\, supply chain excellence in developing countries\, sustainable supply chain management and food supply chains. He obtained his PhD at the Westminster Business School\, University of Westminster\, London. He has lectured at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels on subjects such as Sustainable Global Growth\, Sustainable Business\, Operations and Digital Business\, Project Management among others. Presently\, Emmanuel works as a Research Fellow in the Centre for Logistics\, Procurement and Supply Chain Management at Cranfield University’s School of Management where he is providing supply chain expertise on the BBSRC-funded Food Systems Equality project.

SUMMARY:Seeing the translocal: Visual food methods and gendered cultural reproduction foodwork
DESCRIPTION:A Food Researchers in Edinburgh (FRiED) Seminar. \nOur speaker will be Dr Elaine Swan\, Reader in Feminist Food Studies at the University of Sussex. One of Elaine’s main research interests is critical race and feminist food studies\, and in this event she will be talking about work that is part of the ongoing UKRI funded Food Systems Equality (FoodSEqual) project. More about her work can be found here. \nAbstract \nIn this talk\, I draw on our qualitative study on the gendered\, class and racialised foodwork of women in Tower Hamlets\, London. This study forms part of the UKRI-funded FoodSEqual project and involves collaborations between Katerina Psarikidou from Sussex University and Shazna Hussain\, and Sajna Miah community researchers from the Women’s Environmental network (WEN).  Our study comprises a range of methods\, many of which include photography or film. Hence\, we carried out a series of photography workshops; an exhibition; shop-alongs; cook-alongs; food photo diaries and interviews with local residents. Analysing the mediated visual representations of foodwork\, we examine the diverse meanings of ‘local food’ within translocal communities\, particularly focusing on ideas of gendered racialisation and the whiteness of food localism. Academics and activists food call for ‘alternatives’ to the industrial food system\, paying attention to the ‘local’ as the ‘alternative’ to address the ‘socio-environmental’ deficits of globalised food systems. In many cases\, the ‘local’ as some scholars critique\, takes a narrow\, situated\, place-based approach\, described as ‘defensive’ or ‘nativist’ localism (du Puis and Goodman\, 2005). \nExtending this critique\, Jilimiz Valiente-Neigbours (2012) argues that these limited understandings of food localism\, and scholarly discussions of these\, neglect race. As a result\, food localism can exclude ‘translocal subjectivities’ and ‘translocal communities’ such as the American Filipinos she studies. To expand understandings of ‘local-ness’\, and build an inclusive food politics\, in her view\, requires an embodied\, sensory and mobile understanding of ‘local-ness’ and transnationalism. In our paper\, we build on Valiente-Neighbours’ argument but extend it by foregrounding gender and race\, and mobilising growing feminist research on the politics of localism and the visual representation of cultural reproduction through food (for instance\, Deutsch\, 2011; Mares\, 2017). \nBased on our visual analysis\, we examine the diverse meanings of ‘local food’ within translocal communities\, particularly focusing on ideas of gendered racialisation and the whiteness of food localism.  We explore how dominant notions of localism neglect and potentially stigmatise gendered food practices of racially minoritised groups. In so doing\, first\, we challenge dominant ideas of ‘the local’ through an embodied\, mobile\, gendered and racialised understanding of ‘local-ness’ taking into account complex geographies of mobilities of people and food. Secondly\, we raise questions about whether ‘access to local food’ (narrowly perceived) should be at the centre of addressing food inequalities in a racialised translocal context. \nTo join follow the link below and please note that the session will begin at 12.30pm with a Q&A about research methods hosted by the FRIED student network and Elaine’s talk will begin at 1pm. \nClick here to join the meeting. \nMeeting ID: 334 618 591 319\nPasscode: g785zT \nJoin on the web.
