rough thesis


I would like to research the historical, cultural, institutional, and social aspects of dumpster diving. I would like to interview folks who use dumpster diving as a means to subsistence in the town of Boone as well as interviewing different establishments upon their waste policies and donation to food banks. This will certainly lead to examining the relationship between the capitalist system and its connection with the phenomena of dumpster diving. However, it would be interesting to conclude with the idea that dumpster diving can give birth to communities that function under the model of gift economies.

  2. I'm liking this. A cultural history of dumpster diving; some local info and interviews; some discussion of food access under Kism; and including dumpster diving under the rubric of gift economies strikes me as potentially very interesting.

  3. Oh... think about updating the title of your blog to something more interesting, maybe something that connects with your topic.

    1. I agree this seems like a great topic. I think that you can find good information out about food policies and I think that its connection with dumpster diving is very strong as a social outcry again such wasteful practices. Looking forward to seeing more.
