Using Autoethnography to Examine Settler-Colonial Farming Practices Within the Okanagan Valley

Abstract

This paper was originally written for Ataman Avdan’s SA 326 course Food, Ecology and Social Thought. The assignment asked students to utilize autoethnography to reflect on our relationship with food and the complex social processes behind it. We were encouraged to connect our relationship to wider social structures, historical developments and public issues then analyze them using theoretical perspectives and analytical concepts. The paper uses APA citation style.
