On the 9 June 2021, a podcast was published about me on The Human Show. Titled, ‘Dr. Ferne Edwards: Cultural Anthropologist and an Activist Scholar‘, I was interviewed about my work on the anthropology and activism on food. Here’s the blurb from the website:
We are pleased to have Ferne with us talking about anthropology of food – a field that has been at the core of her research and professional focus for the last 17 years. How did food become Ferne’s topic? What were the drivers that moved her anthropological research from food, to sustainable city movements to political ecology? Ferne describes herself as an activist scholar and describes the way she balances the stillness of mind that academic work requires and the rush that the applied work often entails. We ask how to be an ethical consumer in a city environment and how does the pandemic influence the sustainable actions and social resilience? Ferne shares her experience on working in cross-disciplinary setups and describes what she found to be the best fit for her. At the end, we ask for an advice for those considering a similar path.
