Walker Tottman

I'm a PhD student in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability at the University of Waterloo, based in Vancouver. My research sits between food-systems scholarship, political economy, and discard studies.

I'm currently at the comprehensive-exam stage, working across three overlapping areas: food waste, discard studies, and the politics of knowledge; power, corporate concentration, and governance in the global food economy; and transformation, theories of change, and the knowledge-to-action gap. My dissertation focus is still taking shape.

My supervisor is Dr. Jennifer Clapp.
