Guest Essays in the National Press
As a public scholar, Dr. Gaddis has written for national audiences through the opinion pages of outlets ranging from The New York Times to Teen Vogue. Through this writing, she seeks to challenge assumptions about the current model of school food in the United States, amplify the perspectives of school nutrition workers and youth who rarely have a seat at the formal policy table, and encourage readers to imagine a world in which all preK-12 students eat nourishing free school meals that are made from scratch with local ingredients by workers who are respected and well-compensated for their labor.
