TOTAL SYSTEMS: COMPLETING THE CONCEPT
The total food industry system in the United States is visualized as a nationwide network linking major market area components (products, consumption and structure) to major systems components (e.g. information systems, financial structure, transport and legal-regulatory) for the major market areas of the country. Emphasis is placed on identification and measurement of the linkages and relationships between and among this myriad of system components. A cooperative national effort is urged to model the system for measurement and evaluation of current and future food systems.Agribusiness,

A Critical Ethnography of Adult Learning In the Context of a Social Movement Group
This ethnography studied the learning among members of two groups in a toxic waste struggle with the EPA. The socio-political context, along with the members’ class, race and gender, significantly affected the members’ learning of technical and emancipatory knowledge
Theorizing the Effects of Class, Gender, and Race on Adult Learning in Nonformal and Informal Settings
This paper theorizes how the dynamics of class, gender, and race affect adult learning in nonformal and informal settings in four ways: formation of subjectivity, positionality/access to resources, curriculum, and interactions within and between organizations. It suggests directions for research and practice
Moral Foundherentism
There exists a long standing debate between foundationalism and coherentism in epistemology. To resolve this debate, Susan Haack argues for a third, alternative theory—foundherentism—that incorporates the good elements of both foundationalism and coherentism while avoiding their shortcomings. It incorporates the foundationalist view that experiential input is necessary for empirical justification. And it incorporates the coherentist view that all beliefs can be justified in virtue of their mutually supportive relationships with other beliefs.
The debate between foundationalism and coherentism extends to moral epistemology. I will employ the same sort of strategy in an attempt to resolve this intractable dispute. I will construct and defend an alternative theory—moral foundherentism—and argue that it incorporates the good elements of moral foundationalism (intuitionism) as well as moral coherentism (the method of reflective equilibrium) while avoiding their shortcomings. The proposed theory incorporates the moral foundationalist view that intuitive input is necessary in order for moral beliefs to be justified to any degree. And it accommodates the moral coherentist view that all moral beliefs can be justified in virtue of their mutually supportive relationships with other (moral and non-moral) beliefs
