About the Author
Julie Guthman is a distinguished geographer and professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she has long explored the intersections of food systems, social justice, and environmental politics. Her groundbreaking research challenges conventional narratives around obesity, agriculture, and capitalism, advocating for a more equitable and sustainable food landscape. In her seminal work, Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism (California Studies in Food and Culture) (Volume 32), Guthman critiques the ways in which neoliberal policies exacerbate health disparities and environmental degradation. Drawing from extensive fieldwork and interdisciplinary insights, she illuminates the structural barriers to food justice, urging readers to reconsider simplistic solutions to complex societal issues. Guthman's scholarship continues to influence policy, academia, and activism worldwide.
