Hello, This is Dr. Jahi Johnson-Chappell, Director of the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems and W.K. Kellogg Foundation Endowed Chair. I am writing to request your help identifying citations for the 11th edition of the Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems’ publication: An Annotated Bibliography on Structural Racism Present in the U.S. Food System<https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/structural_racism_in_us_food_system>. An Annotated Bibliography on Structural Racism Present in the U.S. Food System contains selected resources and publications focused on recent research and outreach on structural racism in the U.S. food system. The tenth edition of the resource, published in August 2023, contains over 650 references. All entries in the annotated bibliography are also available in Zotero, a free software that lets users easily save, manage, and cite sources. You can access the Zotero group library here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.zotero.org/groups/1972910/annotated_bibliography_on_structural_racism_present_in_the_u.s._food_system__;!!HXCxUKc!noa2tc2235cpXtqsOzL_M01vcWH-ruNi-rf_Il8HpcXXbphC38YdmdxhroU-EY8b$>. This resource has grown significantly over the past few years, and we hope to make updated versions more user-friendly. Over the summer, we requested feedback from a broad audience to improve future editions and will be applying some of those suggestions - including categorizing references into themes - into the next edition. We are seeking citations that refer to research, analysis, outreach, and commentary on BOTH structural racism AND the U.S. food system. The following citations will be accepted for review: * Peer-reviewed journal articles, and peer-critiqued articles, reports, bulletins, or books * Other scholarly or substantive information produced outside traditional commercial publishing and distribution channels (e.g., theses and dissertations, technical reports, working papers, evaluation reports, conference proceedings, publications from non-profit organizations, think tanks and policy institutes, and preprints) * Video resources including documentaries, motion pictures, television series, TED Talks and interviews * Webinar recordings We will not be including blogs, newspaper articles, tweets, podcasts, etc. because of the sheer volume of these resources. At this point, we will also not include resources that deal with issues outside of the United States. Once a suggestion is submitted there will be a simple vetting process to determine the fit of submission; please note that not all submissions may be included in the 11th edition if they do not meet the criteria above. We hope to publish the 11th edition online in the late spring of 2024. Please share this request widely on listservs and with colleagues, friends, who may have additional resources to include! Deadline for citation submission is January 31, 2024 at 11:59 PM, PST. Please submit all submissions via this google form<https://forms.gle/k9afT4LhZn28PvxY8> or send directly to Rachel Kelly at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
