American Studies Graduate Jessica Kennedy Documents North Carolina Foodways

With her father active in local government, recent American Studies graduate Jessica Kennedy grew up familiar with the social issues of Watauga County— an uncertain transition from an agricultural based economy, hunger and poverty. She applied for and received a Carolina SURF grant and dedicated her summer to understanding and addressing these issues in her hometown. Her advisers were Patricia Sawin and Marcie Ferris.
