Dr. Colleen Hammelamn is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Her research broadly considers questions of social justice in urban food systems and currently proceeds along three fronts. One project, Digging for justice in urban gardens across the Americas, focuses on the contestations of urban agriculture in the sustainable neoliberal city. A second project is concerned with Latinx foodways in North America. This research investigates such foodway construction and its displacement to better understand the evolution of migrant place-making over space and time. Finally, a new project explores ways in which migrant communities use food practices to animate public spaces and struggle to participate in the work of making cities.?
