Mediating mezcal

This work was informed by a week-long field visit (and the months of preparation that went into it) in Oaxaca, wherein we soaked up the brights colors and flavors of the ruta del mezcal and sought out the wisdom of mezcaleros/as, mezcal researchers, and other local actors and advocates across the mezcal industry vi…

Brewing Change
Over the past several decades, craft brewing has altered physical and cultural landscapes across the United States as fermentation industries have increasingly been at the center of civic (re)development activities. Fermented landscapes are now ubiquitous, producing and maintaining a variety of public goods, whether perceived as beneficial or not. Some breweries offer highly visible examples of advocacy efforts, including the pursuit and promotio…
Texas in Transition
Given the state’s growing prominence in the United States wine industry, paired with its relative obscurity, we explore the cultural and environmental transformation of the state of Texas from the perspective of the b(l)ooming wine industry. Using a qualitative, narrative approach, focused on the two largest and most productive appellations in the state, we form a framework for understanding the historical and contemporary context for wine in Tex…
Transformative Collaborations
The COVID-19 global pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated existing gender-based inequities in the workforce. A research collective developed by academic mothers with young children (“motherscholars”) emerged as a solution to address some of the constraints particularly faced by mothers in academia. The Motherscholar Collective was formed to research the effects of the pandemic on the work and personal lives of academic mothers with young child…
African American Experiences in the Historic Dunbar Neighborhood in San Marcos, Texas
The purpose of this participatory research project is to examine the lived experiences (counter-life stories) of current and former Dunbar residents and congregants of Dunbar churches to demonstrate how local stories counter the dominant perspective about the experiences of American Americans in the Dunbar community. Once a thriving community at the center of civil rights activities in Hays County, Texas, the neighborhood has evolved in many ways…
Making (a) place
This paper explores the role of the wine industry, writ large, in place-making via a case study of the wine industry, from ‘grape to glass’, in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California, which examines how wine production and consumption has influenced the sociocultural and physical–environmental landscape of the region. Using qualitative field methods and secondary data analysis, the paper investigates the impacts of the ‘emerging’ wine industry…
Uneven urban metabolisms
Expanding cities present a sustainability challenge, as the uneven proliferation of hybrid landscape types becomes a major feature of 21st century urbanization. To fully address this challenge, scholars must consider the broad range of land uses that being produced beyond the urban core and how land use patterns in one location may be tied to patterns in other locations. Diverse threads within political ecology provide useful insights into the dy…
