As team member, Laura Kitchings, prepares to present at #ASFS40 at Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis, we found 1920 Boston Voter Lorna C. (Collamore) Jessup, who later served as the Dean of Women at the University. 🧵

Fascinating provocation during this presentation at #asfs40 / #foodjustice2025: can you think of a single media product today (books, TV, movies) set in the future that is NOT a dystopia? (Note: The Jetsons doesn't count, since new episodes are no longer being produced...)

Fascinating observations by Diana Garvin about the adoption of electric cooking technology during the Fascist period of Italy (1922-1945) as facilitating the "gentrification of women's bodies"...really smart insights about the materiality of the fascist kitchen. #asfs40 #foodjustice2025
