Food Systems PhD Candidate, Gund Graduate Fellow, CALS<\/p>\n
In Caitlin’s current project, she is using qualitative research methods to understand the mechanisms behind radical efforts in food system change, and the ways food system change can become a possibility in society. To do this, she is exploring two different case studies, looking at a farm in upstate New York and a taste-based food education and research program in Denmark. To conduct this research, Caitlin is using multiple qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, participant observation, PhotoVoice, focus groups, auto-ethnography, and potentially document analysis and social network analysis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the strengths [of qualitative research] are that things are usually more complicated than any quick numerical summary of things, especially Food Systems, which is a really big field looking at the relationships between really big parts of society. Those play out in very particular ways in peoples’ lives and I’m a big believer in thinking about culture and lived experience as part of how we make decisions, and not just base-line population numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n
