@Glastronomer I really enjoyed researching and writing it! It's off for evaluation. I used Dorothy Smith's materialist ontology to examine discourse and subject making in food production and procurement. By examining practices as suggested by Smith, we gain a better understanding of the significance of CSA as well as its link to more conventional protests. Very cool stuff!

There is something poetic about being in the final stages of editing my thesis on the micropolitics of CSA as the first box of the season arrives! Scapes, salad, and significance simultaneously!

Those lashing at 'wokeism' just want to flaunt a supremacist identify. Such branding isn't tone-deaf, this is catering to caste pride and what speaks caste more than food?
