 The Department is home to the journal Culture & Agriculture and is edited by Kendall Thu. Students in the Department may have the opportunity to work on the journal and learn about the peer review process and journal production. Culture & Agriculture (ISSN 1048-4876) is a national peer-reviewed journal that has an interdisciplinary readership among anthropologists and archaeologists, as well as researchers and practitioners in related fields including sociology, agricultural economics, food studies, policy sciences, and diverse branches of farming and natural resource management.
The journal publishes position papers, discussions of theoretical developments and methods of inquiry, and results of empirical research from any tradition of scholarship. Central to the mission of C&A is work exploring the connections between environment, ecology, agriculture and aquacultural practices, fisheries, natural resources, food processing, and nutrition, as they relate to cultural dimensions of gender, class, property relations, and labor processes. C&A also welcomes contributions on matters related to sustainability and biodiversity. Dialogue between scholars, activists, and others interested in these matters is encouraged.
