We have exciting news! This week our editor, Dr. Alex Ketchum has been published in the edited volume Musings: Food, Feminism, and Fermentation (2019).
From Ketchum's piece: "The history of Canadian brewing texts demonstrates that hegemonic cultural and social norms can enact power upon our understandings of fermentation practices, influencing the ways we understand these histories of labour and production. Unpacking these histories can help us challenge gendered divisions within the world of home, craft, and industrial brewing that continue to exist today."
