Podcast Description
Digesting Food Studies is a podcast that helps break down research on food systems into manageable portions. It’s for listeners who are learning and teaching about food studies, for those working in fields and factories, and also for people in policy and politics, making the rules that govern and guide us. From food justice to sustainability to intercultural identity, from the technologies of agriculture to the relationships embedded in Indigenous foodways, each episode helps digest one big idea. As a tool for teaching, a guide for new researchers, or inspiration for practitioners and activists, Digesting Food Studies bridges the gap between academese and everyday eating.This podcast is supported in part by the Canadian Association for Food Studies and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.Concentré d’études sur l’alimentation est un podcast qui vous aide à absorber la recherche sur les systèmes alimentaires une bouchée à la fois.

Eating and togetherness go hand in hand, or at least, that’s what our socioculture tells us. Yet many people, particularly seniors, live and dine alone. Even outside the home, eating can be an isolating experience. This episode probes how sound and space can encourage sociability and sharing, though it always takes an effort for that to happen. The Canadian Food Studies publication in focus is Melanie Binette’s “Invisible guests: A sound installation in a Montréal community restaurant,” from Vol. 4, No. 2 (2017). Alexia Moyer shares two very different soundscapes, and Art History master student, Samphe Ballamingie, responds to the sound installation at the centre of Melanie’s text.
Guests:
Alexia Moyer is co-Managing Editor of Canadian Food Studies and a founding member of the editorial collective, red line-ligne rouge, based in Montreal.
Melanie Binette is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, and researcher who co-founded Milieu du Nulle Part, a performance collective dedicated to in situ and in socius performance.
Samphe Ballamingie is a filmmaker, video editor, writer, and podcaster who is currently doing a master’s degree in Art History at Concordia University in Montreal.
