Overview
Please consider the Duke Campus Farm and its faculty enthusiastic collaborators in your teaching and research, whether you bring your students out to the farm, whether the farm comes to your classroom, or whether the farm becomes your classroom.
Beyond food, food systems, and sustainable agriculture, we’re particularly interested in the following topic areas:
- land history/plantation history/environmental history
- cotton, tobacco and other Columbian exchange crops or African diasporic crops
- food justice/food access
- the Farm Bill and food and ag policy
- waste, compost, waste studies
- (farm) systems thinking and critical food studies
- wilderness ethic and new agrarianism
- pastoral/georgic as literary modes
- environmental arts – photography, nature writing.
We're sure you can think of many more - we welcome your ideas, thoughts, and collaboration on these or other topics.
