current activities, winter 2011

With snow falling in southern Ontario, winter has arrived. My teaching of IDST - ANTH 2210Y, Agrarian change, peasants and food production in a global context, has resumed, and is going well, while my administrative duties as Chair of the Department of International Development Studies continue. In January and March I will be giving seminars on my forthcoming paper on the global land grab and its implications for the world food system, while in February and March I will be working in Dakar and Tunis on the Gender and Economic Policy Management Initiative Project of the United Nations Development Programme.
