Eileen E. Schell is Professor of Writing and Rhetoric and the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence in the Department of Writing Studies, Rhetoric, and Composition at Syracuse University.

In her latest book Food Justice Literacies and Rhetorics, Professor Eileen Schell’s intersectional approach to food justice applies incisive rhetorical and rich historical analysis to carefully chosen case studies, thereby reimagining the roles of writing and rhetoric scholars in food studies and offering new directions for scholarship, pedagogy, and everyday practices. In these ways, Schell provides an important argument about the significance of critical agricultural literacies to illuminate more accurate and representative histories of food justice and to illustrate ways forward to more just and inclusive food systems.
