Indigenous Food Sovereignty and Wellbeing in Aotearoa New Zealand and Peru: ‘He kai kei aku ringa’—“the food is in my hand” with Dr. Marielena Huambachano.

In this talk, Dr. Huambachano explains how Indigenous peoples across New Zealand and Peru have maintained their food sovereignty post-colonization. She will introduce the “Khipu Model” and explain how Indigenous peoples use it as a knowledge and research framework for understanding and controlling their food under current food systems. The talk will also feature her recent research and interviews with the Māori people of Aotearoa and Quechua peoples of Peru as she explains how this new framework can aid in Indigenous resurgence, advocacy, and policy change.

Pedagogy, Learning and Identity Construction in the American Youth Food Justice Movement with Dr. Morten Kromann Nielsen.

In this talk, Dr. Nielsen will be hosting a discussion of central findings from his doctoral research of a specific Californian job training and youth food justice program. The topic will explain how a critical approach to the food system is operationalized pedagogically, how paradoxes and power dynamics inform professional role management, and feature the narrative constructions of youth agency and identity.
