Environmental Sociology course visits Fox Hollow Farm

Several students from my environmental sociology course visited Fox Hollow Farm in Huntington, NY to help plant garlic and learn about the wonderful work being done by the owners, Heather and Larry. After separating the garlic to bulb, Heather served us tea and muffins before we planted the garlic. They told us about their important work in Long Island to support small farms, local agriculture, organics, and social justice issues. We plan to return in a couple weeks.

We spoke about my summer research in Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Topics covered NAFTA, organic foods, globalization, and resistance to genetically modified food. I will provide the podcast here once it is available.

This course is taught by Jennifer Rogers-Brown and Chantal Ferraro and is available to all LIU Post students in Winter 2013. We are excited to take students through southern Mexico as we explore pyramids, ruins, indigenous communities, and meet with local NGOs. This course is an amazing opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team of professors as we take students out of the classroom and into first-hand experience with different cultures and ancient artificats.
