Joshua Lopez

I am a recent graduate of the PhD program in the department of History, where I will also begin teaching as a lecturer. I have scholarly interests in food studies and public humanities. In my work, I share food studies research through digital and public writing projects such as digital essays, videos, and podcasts. I am a co-editor and contributor to El Paso Food Voices, an open-source digital archive and oral history project of El Paso, Texas’s food cultures. I also co-authored the peer-reviewed annotated bibliography on “Latinx in the Food Industry” for the Oxford Bibliographies in Latino Studies. Currently, I am a Racial Justice Pedagogy Fellow for the Association for the Study of Food and Society, where I am developing a syllabus on Latinx in the Food System, and my work in queer food will be featured in the forthcoming Queer Food Anthology, edited by Megan J. Elias and Alex D. Ketchum.
