Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 111: Lunch Box Identities

What is “Canadian food” and how does its interpretation affect our identity and sense of belonging—especially in primary and secondary schools?

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2350341/

This episode unpacks the packed lunch, in particular those that the kids of first-generation immigrants bring to school. Two articles from Canadian Food Studies are covered, both co-written by Yukari Seko, “Unboxing the bento box” (Vol. 8, No. 3) and “Feeding children while Asian” (Vol. 12, No. 2). And in response, PhD student Shay Quinn offers up several perspectives on meaning-making, involving research participants in research, and arts-informed methodologies.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 106: School Food Programs

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2210715/

With the creation of Canada’s National School Food Program, myriad questions, challenges, and opportunities arise. Student success, cultural identity, food provisioning, and economics are all at play. As Rachel Engler-Stringer tells us in this episode, ongoing research and reflection will be needed.

First, Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment reveals a number of lessons—some more useful than others—from Saskatchewan’s early 1900s school food planning. And in the After Taste, Penelope Stam responds to the focus article, “The case for a Canadian national school food program” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i3.260) from Vol. 5 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies.

_The Evening Post_, 6 June 1924:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
The growth of population at #Karori, reflected as it is in the school attendance, is placing the local school committee in some difficulty as regards accommodation. The primary branch is particularly badly off in that direction, it being a common occur[r]ence for overflow classes to meet in an open shed at the rear of the building. Even that unsatisfactory expedient can be resorted to only in fine weather. The newly elected committee visited the school in a body yesterday afternoon and saw for themselves what the position was. On assembling for their first regular meeting last evening, they were met with a letter from the Minister of Education refusing to do anything in the way of increasing the accommodation. It was resolved to write to the Minister again, and if necessary, to arrange for a deputation to wait upon him.

A successful concert was given last night by Standards Two and Three of the #Ngaio School in aid of the gramophone fund. The children, who had been trained by Miss Henderson, assisted by Miss Barnes, very much delighted the crowded audience with their dancing, singing, and acting.

Anyone have experience with sending their child to a #Montessori primary school? Seems great in lots of ways, but expensive. Is it worth it over a regular school? #PrimarySchools #Education #Ireland #EducateTogether

Are there any other #primaryschools on Mastondon?
