View TURNROWThe Food Justice Lab was founded in 2011 in the Department of Geology and Geography
at West Virginia University and has been host to students and faculty interested
in advancing community based research around food system issues here in our Appalachian
home and beyond. As an experimental space for action research and activist scholarship,
students develop personal research projects and contribute to collective inquiries
that challenge food system inequalities across an intersectional and increasingly
interconnected food system.
