Elaine Power

Elaine Power is an associate professor at Queen's University whose work sits at the intersection of food politics, feminist theory, and health. Drawing on a background in dietetics and decades of food systems scholarship, she examines how dominant agri-industrial food systems distribute both nourishment and harm along lines of race, gender, and class. Her work matters for the sector's future because she is one of the few voices willing to name the political economy of food — not as background context, but as the central problem.
