Tune in to episode 32 to hear the wonderful Dr. Hortencia Jimenez and Allyson Ford talk about foodscapes and how they impact POC and poor, working class communities. We all discuss diet culture in the Latinx community and the appropriation of cultural food.

Dr. Jimenez is a full time tenured Sociology professor and is currently working on a co-edited undergraduate textbook on Latinxs studies with SAGE Publishing, a leading press in the social sciences.

She was recently featured for her undieting work in Belatina news, a leading Latina digital platform, has been interviewed by First Gen American, Latinos En Vivo, Radio Bilingue, and has been on numerous podcasts. Dr. Jimenez work centers on dismantling diet culture from a social and racial justice framework and helping Latinxs heal their relationship with food. You can find her on IG @drhortenciajimenez
