Hi Jim,

I've got a job opening here for an Indigenous Food Sovereignty Outreach Specialist at UW Madison. This could be a good job for a CANR graduate. Would you mind sharing it with any recent grads or alumni you think would be a good fit for the position?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Facilitating intertribal information exchange and collaboration through field days, summits, and/or joint projects and programs that are representative of Tribal communities' holistic approach to food sovereignty; 4. Maintaining awareness of emerging Indigenous food sovereignty projects and work through research, communication, and participation at local and national gatherings and conferences; and 5. Providing project-specific coordination and outreach to Tribal communities and partners for the Connecting Cultural Values & Indigenous Research Towards Food System Resilience Project and to Wisconsin's Tribal Sugaring Network.
