Description of Research:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My doctoral research, \u201cThe Shaping of Canadian Culinary Communities in Edmonton and Beyond, 1930-1980,\u201d examines the intersections between gardening, foodways, and identity within Chinese, Italian, and Ukrainian settler communities in the Edmonton area and the role of the state in shaping food practices. I examine the tensions between what the state considered nutritious, \u201cgood\u201d food and their desire to Canadianize new settlers through food education, and how settler families used food as a site of cultural reproduction within their family and ethnolinguistic communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28123,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Casarina","cu_people_last_name":"Hocevar","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[98,101],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-23866","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-phd-student","cu_people_type-grad-student"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Ph.D. Candidate","cu_people_degree":"BA (McGill), MMSt (University of Toronto), MA (McGill) ","cu_building":"","cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"casarinahocevar@cmail.carleton.ca","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/23866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/23866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28125,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/23866\/revisions\/28125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=23866"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=23866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
