Details
Food is a topic most people are happy to talk about. When writing his book Getting Something to Eat in Jackson: Race, Class, and Food in the American South, Joseph C. Ewoodzie conducted an ethnography of a large cross-section of the African-American residents of Jackson Mississippi, to better understand how race and class interact with food choices and pathways in the city. The stories he heard were fascinating and moving, and have resulted in an award-winning ethnographic book. In this workshop, Professor Ewoodzie will explore how to gather real-life stories and how best to represent them on the page.

About the series:
In close collaboration with Princeton University Press, Princeton Writes, the Program for Community-Engaged Scholarship, and other partners, this GradFUTURES Learning Cohort will help you hone writing (and other communication) skills in order to connect your ideas with audiences that need to hear them. We’ll cover how to keep your writing clear, interesting, and relevant.
The series will feature online presentations and in-person, hands-on workshops. You’ll hear from nationally-recognized voices in a series of Zoom Lunch & Learns with Princeton University Press authors like Christopher Paul Harris, Jelani Favors, Marybeth Gasman, Joseph C. Ewoodzie, and Tara Dawson-McGuinness, and you’ll also connect with people and resources that will help you move from theory to practice. In the Spring, you’ll have the chance to earn a badge in public writing—while producing public-facing work of your own in a supportive, mentored environment.
