Reform, Justice, and Sovereignty: A Food Systems Agenda for Environmental Communication
Food ecologies and economies are vital to the survival of communities, non-human species, and our planet. While environmental communication scholars have legitimated food as a topic of inquiry, the entangled ecological, cultural, economic, racial, colonial, and alimentary relations that sustain food systems demand greater attention. In this essay, we review literature within and beyond environmental communication, charting the landscape of critical food work in our field. We then illustrate how environmental justice commitments can invigorate interdisciplinary food systems-focused communication scholarship articulating issues of, and critical responses to, injustice and inequity across the food chain. We stake an agenda for food systems communication by mapping three orientations—food system reform, justice, and sovereignty—that can assist in our critical engagements with and interventions into the food system. Ultimately, we entreat environmental communication scholars to attend to the bends, textures, and confluences of these orientations so that we may deepen our future food-related inquiries
Measurement of Spin Density Matrix Elements in Λ(1520) Photoproduction at 8.2 GeV to 8.8 GeV
We report on the measurement of spin density matrix elements of the Λ(1520) in the photoproduction reaction γp → Λ(1520)K+, via its subsequent decay to K−p. The measurement was performed
as part of the GlueX experimental program in Hall D at Jefferson Lab using a linearly polarized
photon beam with Eγ = 8.2 GeV–8.8 GeV. These are the first such measurements in this photon
energy range. Results are presented in bins of momentum transfer squared, −(t − t0). We compare
the results with a Reggeon exchange model and determine that natural exchange amplitudes are
dominant in Λ(1520) photoproduction
