2019 John Egerton Prize Winner: Sarah Bowen
In 2019, SFA honored Sarah Bowen, co-author of Pressure Cooker: Why Home Cooking Won’t Solve Our Problems and What We Can Do About It. Her work as a sociologist at North Carolina State University focuses on food system inequalities. Based on ethnographic observations and community work with 124 North Carolina families over 5 years, her book argues that, when our society valorizes family meals as solutions to social problems, we shift disproportionate burdens to families and especially mothers.
