Episode 7: Feminist Food Futures Here is the link to the transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VZcavCcqSEIBMaRYwmHe8fhT68yy355XLtZSMHXBL4k/edit?usp=sharing In the past six episodes we have been talking a lot about feminist and queer food history and what is going on in the present. Today we are going to shift our framing somewhat. I begin by talking about how the framing of our food futures sometimes falls in a kind of retro-futurism that perpetuates racism and sexism. We then chat with filmmaker, writer, and podcaster Anna Sigrithur about feminism, fermentation, and rot.  This is our final episode for the podcast.  To learn more about Anna Sigrithur: https://twitter.com/sigrithur To learn more about her award-winning film Wrought: https://www.wroughtfilm.ca/about-us I also discuss quite a few other projects in this episode.

In previous episodes, we have talked about how feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffehouses in the United States and Canada in the 1970s and 1980s were connected to feminist bookstores, lesbian bars, women’s rights organizations– not to mention the broader network of Civil Rights, LGBTQ rights, and anti-racist organizations. Today we’ll be talking about the cultural outputs of feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses – and we will be focusing primarily on cookbooks. You can access the transcript at: http://www.thefeministrestaurantproject.com/p/podcast.html We will be joined by Dr. Jessica Kenyatta Walker and Dr. Anna Zeide. We will also be joined by archivist Elis Ing.
