Hi colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that I've had a chapter published in a new collection, Food Instagram: Identity, Influence and Negotiation from University of Illinois Press. If you are interested in a wide array of writing on the topic of food on Instagram, written by academics, artists, and influencers, this collection covers a lot of ground. The publisher is offering a 30% discount code (S22UIP) when ordering directly from the University of Illinois Press website.

My chapter "Farming, unedited: failure, humor and fortitude in Instagram’s agricultural underground”  is about how a group of mostly BC-based, small-scale organic farmers are using private networks on Instagram for knowledge sharing and community building outside of the brand-building that Instagram is loved and hated for.

I hope you’ll check it out!

>From the publisher:
Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contributions that explore the massively popular social media platform as a space for self-identification, influence, transformation, and resistance. Artists and journalists join a wide range of scholars to look at food’s connection to Instagram from vantage points as diverse as Hong Kong’s camera-centric foodie culture, the platform’s long history with feminist eateries, and the photography of Australia’s livestock producers. What emerges is a portrait of an arena where people do more than build identities and influence. Users negotiate cultural, social, and economic practices in a place that, for all its democratic potential, reinforces entrenched dynamics of power.
