In memory of Rodney Mitchell
First, I would like to thank the students at the University of North Texas (UNT) for their trust and sharing of their deeply personal stories. This research has been humbling and has deepened my understanding of what students in my classes and around campus may be going through in their lives while attending college. I would also like to thank the UNT Dean of Students, particularly Maureen Moe McGuinness and Rodney Mitchell (in memorandum), for their partnership on this research project. Their support and dedication to the students at UNT is remarkable, and their collaboration with the well-being of students in mind has facilitated this work that will hopefully lead to more solutions. The data collection was funded by a UNT Scholarly and Creative Activity Award through the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. I thank my research team of graduate and undergraduate students in the Department of AnthropologyEmma Carnes, Jena Chakour, Ana Belen Conrado, Beth Holland, Bridget Landis, Kelly McFarland, Skye ONeill, Andie Semlow, Sarah Stutts, and Ashley Thomas. I thank the UNT Department of Anthropology for their support with a graduate research assistant, Kelly McFarland, who helped with coding, analysis, and the report to the Dean of Students. I also want to thank Caitlin Griffith for her assistance with the references and her unending support, professionally and personally. Finally, I want to thank my familyDoug, Riley, Will, Tory, JoJo, and Juniorfor their endless support, encouragement, sacrifices, and love.
is Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Texas. She holds a PhD from Southern Methodist University. As an applied medical anthropologist, her research interests include food insecurity, biomedicine and healthcare delivery, anthropology in public health, globalization and health, and indigenous healing systems. Her regional specializations are the U.S. and the Pacific Islands. She is the Past-President of the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA).
The introduction chapter sets the stage for the context of this research topic and the manuscript. I introduce the concept of food insecurity in the U.S. by presenting USDA definitions and current statistics in the broader U.S. population. Next, I discuss the growing awareness and attention to food insecurity among college students by highlighting the increasing research on the prevalence and experience of food insecurity in college across the U.S. Next, I discuss the research project, research design, and methodology of my qualitative, ethnographic research at the University of North Texas (UNT). I highlight this projects contribution to the literature on food insecurity among college students. I interviewed 92 students who were clients of the UNT Food Pantry. This is the largest qualitative study to be published to date, and it captures student perspectives on the meaning and experience of food insecurity.
Food is the last priority. Id rather sleep on a bed and have a roof over my head than eat.
At the time of this research, Cassandra was a 20-year-old African-American sophomore at the University of North Texas . As a freshman, she lived in the dorm, had a meal plan , and ate like it was the holidays with almost every meal. Like many college students, in the summer after her freshman year, she moved into an apartment with two friends who shared the rent. The following fall semester she took four classes and worked as much as she could. The hours she worked varied from 15 to 30 hours per week, mostly determined by the scheduling manager at work , but also by her class schedule. Her job paid minimum wage, and as Cassandra explained, its hard to find a high paying job that also has the flexibility toworkwith my class schedule. A lot of college students end up changing jobs every semester. Cassandra noted, I pay for everythingthe rent, the bills. I go to class. I go towork. I try to study. Sometimes, when I dont work enough, I dont have money for food. At the sametime, I cantworkall thetimeand go to class. I have to choose.
Cassandra was a federal Pell Grant recipient and also received some loan money. Her mom helped financially as much as she is able. During her freshman year, Cassandra noted that it was easy to manage all the expenses because food and housing were wrapped up together. When she first moved into an apartment, all of the different bills and expenses were overwhelming to organize and pay between the three roommates. She thought she would have enough money with her job but quickly realized that her finances varied month to month. Her older sister tried to help out with expenses by giving her money from time to time , but it was not consistent. Cassandra often did not have enough money to pay all of her bills and eat consistently. She depended on the UNT Food Pantry to help fill the gap.
