Divana Olivas: Food as a Tool for Liberation and Oppression Femidish
-
- Society & Culture
In our final episode of season two, we meet with Divana Olivas, a PhD Candidate in American Studies + Ethnicity, where she researches state agriculture policy and grassroots community activism, influenced from leftist feminist organizing. She talks about her oral history project and the importance of chronicling stories in that way. Of course, we talk gender roles in the kitchen (5 dollars to anyone who finds a Femidish episode where we DON'T discuss it) and in families. Divana begins to teach Hope and Sandy about Chicana feminist theory, which is truly a topic deserving of its own episode! Special call out SWOP - SouthWest Organizing Project - and their work toward food justice.
