Bellisario College Brownbag

Joseph Jones, a visiting assistant professor at West Virginia University, will present "If It Feeds, It Leads: Eating, Media, Identity and Ecofeminist Food Journalism" as part of the Bellisario College Brownbag Series. Last year Jones earned the fourth annual Davis Ethics Award, a national competition among the top media ethics-related dissertations successfully defended each year. His project explored contemporary food journalism and placed it in the larger context of American history, asking how such media made eating a matter of public concern. In other words, it asked: Hcow does food journalism invite us to our eating identities and what are the ethical obligations of food journalists?
