June 2018—UO’s Food Studies Program announced recipients of its 2018-19 Food Studies Graduate Research Grants, with some additional funds provided by the Graduate School. Among those receiving a grant was James Daria, a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology, for his graduate research work: “Modern Slavery in Agricultural Sweatshops along the US/Mexican Border.” Daria has been a recipient of a past Faculty Collaborative Research Grant from CLLAS for producing a multilingual documentary film in collaboration with faculty member Philip Scher, another graduate student, and the farmworkers union Pineros y Campesinos Unidos de Noroeste (PCUN).
