Our Story
Exacerbated Hunger uses digital storytelling (and qualitative interviews) to explore the impacts of COVID-19 on food insecurity among racialized and Indigenous Ontarians, as well as food justice responses to these impacts. The goal of the project is to promote food justice and sovereignty at the community and institutional level. For this, I partnered with the Re•Vision Centre for Art and Social Justice and the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) at the University of Guelph. The project is funded by a SSHRC’s Insight Development Grant and will be completed by Fall 2026 with the support of Dr. Carla Rice, Dr. Andrea Paras, and Dr. Nadiya N. Ali (co-investigators), as well as Dr. Elizabeth Jackson, the director of CESI (collaborator).
