Notes de l'éditeur
- Thanks very much to pat,Happy for the emerging collab,Jim lagro’s done grand rounds and works with SHOWWe share some students MS/PhDI’m recruiting, hope one of you can join next fall
- A bit about planning, it is the discipline engaged with placemaking and public participation through two principle activities, plan making and plan implementationPlanning is future oriented, but it is about discerning and legitimating activities that improve the public welfare…
- can also be in any subfield, energy, food, housing, transportationhttp://laborate.usc.es/en/news/2012-10-02/international-seminar-local-food-systems.html
- Additionally, Planners staff government committees, or work in private sector, occasionally planners assist with enforcing law or ordinance
- Food drugs and extending to law (state/federal - pure food and drug), Legitimating existing practices for new opportunities/problems meant new organizations and organizational roles, and policy, so for instance, marketplaces – measurement, middlemen, management,
- Fast forward to our contemporary concerns, again there are rough similarities between the disciplines and new points of articulation, if I could summarize these I might say we are conducting applied and basic research that capacitates individuals and communities, and in its most normative form, strives for solidarity in and between various topical concerns and interests, food system, public safety, transportation modalities, distribution systems, housing, built environment and etc.Building on the past we are doing more integrative and synthetic work, bridging theories and methods, and bridging with communities in various ways…In the next few slides I’ll discuss some of my research, which bridges method, scale and theory to capacitate and stand in solidarity with communities seeking to identify and achieve their goals
- Applied research, in my view health research is what typically leads here, even often prior to economic problems
- Values drive activities. Activities accomplish outcome objectives. Imagine the values circle moving, and propelling the chain, which then drives actions along the food system supply chain (you could even label the bottom line of the chain as ‘activities’). As new enterprises/structures/ways of doing business are created in the food system, this then moves the whole values wheel (internal values circle and community benefits) in such a way as to realize localized benefits (you could label the top line ‘outcomes’). ** How does this then impact the ‘endogenous’ environment?Social Change: In order for food systems work to achieve social change, the structures of the endogenous environment have to be changed (to reflect the values that drive them) as a result of the activities. How does this happen? Either by many movement organizations/structures working independently and in conjunction with each other (builder/weaver efforts), or through mass movements of society pushing for change through mobilization (warrior efforts) = note that ‘endogenous environment’ is fixed in place, while the food system supply chain rotates. This ‘fixedness’ can move if community benefits are deep enough, and extensive enough to facilitate system change. The goal is not maintaining the status quo, but rather changing the status quo.
- the practices of assurance and policy development – integrative, rely less on single intervention and developing the idea of working Ho: and identifying systemic interventions, in many, related activities, local economic activity, healthy eating and food access (technological component), ordinances and policy change, a graduate student I am thankful to work with Anne Roybal shared with me some recent summary work on Healthy food retail…but of course some retail activities present challenges, as in street vendors, and I’ve done work on this as well…
- Applied research, in my view health research is what typically leads here, even often prior to economic problemsMust recognize that capacitation starts with recognizing and transforming habits, People more expert than I are working in these many situations, and so I’ll discuss a few examples I’ve been part of and a few I’ve worked on or am working on
- One of mycurrent projects works with municipalities with populations of 50% or more Latino and/or African American across four counties in Illinois (Cook and Lake), Wisconsin (Kenosha), and Indiana (Lake) in order to use food system regulations to enhance health by promoting changes in ordinances that reduce policy barriers to food access and food availability and foster food-related economic development by providing the technical assistance and support they require to identify and implement solutions.
- This project strengthens the existing partnership between UW and the City of Freeport exemplified by the Spring 2013 URPL 590 course. The City established many partners for the Riverfront Enterprise Initiative. These include the following:Community Activities Partnership Support (CAPS): a resident-led organization committed to empowering Third Ward neighborhood residents to plan and implement neighborhood revitalization projects.extending capacity in solidarity with others, integration across activities and scales, deploying a kind of analogical imagination to work with others in identifying and advancing their goals
