Last week I filed my dissertation "Bread and Butter Policy: Food Identity Standards in the United States, 1938-2022." I'm excited to continue revising and expanding this project! Thank you to everyone who helped me reach this point đź’“ #FoodHistory #FoodIdentityStandards
I'm so looking forward to attending Our Voices are Part of the Landscape: How Food, Landscape, and Ohlone Culture Connect at @makamham #CafeOhlone, hosted by @SCU_Library special collections! The event is free if you're in the Bay Area : )

Submitted my thesis this week and think its finally sinking in that the PhD is almost over. Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last few weeks/months/years. It’s been an insane journey and couldn’t have done it without such great friends, family and supervisors.
Read the standards for food dressings and flavorings (including the French Dressing standard, RIP) here:

My supervisor once told me something along the lines of: "In academia, everyone is smart. Distinguish yourself by being kind." I was very lucky to have him as a role model.
