Bio
Garrett Graddy-Lovelace researches and teaches agricultural policy and agrarian geography. Her work focuses on domestic and international contexts and impacts of US food and farm policy--from subsidized export dumping and trade, to food aid and geopolitics of hunger, to labor and migration, to intellectual property regimes. Drawing on histories of anti/colonialism and geographies of de/coloniality, she studies crop diversity conservation, bioethics, land claims, and agrarian climate justice mobilizations. This includes community-based research-action with grassroots groups on the Farm Bill (see disparitytoparity.org project and Pointing the Farm Bill toward Racial Justice toolkit). Her forthcoming book, The Power of Seeds & Agricultural Biodiversity Governance, is with M.I.T. Press. She was awarded the inaugural Provost Associate Professor title, the 2022 School of International Scholar-Teacher of the Year Award, and the SIS Excellence in PhD Mentoring Award. Graddy-Lovelace co-founded and co-leads: the Policy Cluster for 小蓝视频's NSF RECIPES grant on Wasted Food, the School of International Service's Ethnographies of Empire Research Cluster, the nation-wide Agroecology Research-Action Collective, Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance's Seed & Farm Policy working group, and is a Faculty Advisor for 小蓝视频's Antiracist Research & Policy Center, and part of the inaugural Abolition Everywhere Collaboratory.
