Hi Jessica! I was at the ASFS conference as well. I'm in the Food Studies program at BU and this was my first academic conference. It was amazing to be surrounded by so many people who get it. I'm not sure where my studies will take me, but I am especially interested in bringing these ideas to a general audience and I'm glad you brought that up here. Its great to ponder these these topics in academia, but food is such a powerful medium that touches everyone. 😊
So glad that you found it to be a rewarding experience! Yes, ASFS is a fantastic community and so supportive, especially of junior scholars and students.
