Food, Feminism, and Fermentation presents Feminist Publishing and Open Access: A conversation on Critical Approaches to Publishing Practices

When: November 8th 2018, 6-8 PM
Where: IGSF Seminar Room, 3487 Peel Street, 2nd floor
Food, Feminism, Fermentation (FFF) is an organization founded by Dr. Alex Ketchum and PhD candidate, Maya Hey. FFF brings together scholars, writers, artists, activists, and makers working at the intersections of these three themes. Last Fall, we hosted a 3 day conference at McGill University's Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies, with more than 155 participants from Canada, the United States, and Europe. The conference invoked a hybrid space for makers and scholars to cross-pollinate and inoculate each other with fermentable ideas.
This convergence produced two special issues of an academic journal (Cuizine: Journal of Canadian Food Cultures), which we are launching this Fall.< As part of our launch event (November 8th, 6:00- 8:00PM, at IGSF) for this special issue, we wanted to celebrate all things open access and public scholarship. In particular, we wanted to explore critical approaches to publishing practices, including what a 'feminist publishing' might look like.
