Abstract

The Myriad Faces of the USDA -- Impacts Past, Present and Future. One of Joel Schor's important scholarly pursuits was the investigation of the effects of USDA and land- grant research and extension on "marginalized farmers" -- mainly the poor, Black, descendants of former slaves in the South. Though radical in some respects, this work was being pursued at the very time Joel was a researcher in the employ of the USDA. In honor of Joel's life and his work, this memorial issue will address the many kinds and dimensions of USDA and Land-Grant University research and extension efforts. Among topics to be considered: Historical studies of the effects of USDA policy/research activities on the many constituencies it has purported to serve since its inception in 1862; Sociological or Political-Economic analyses of the current or potential impacts of government- sponsored research on the broad spectrum of "affected parties"; Critical or philosophical studies of the past, present or future "missions" and directions of USDA and land-grant system work, including the new biotechnologies; Special topics on those very subjects Joel was committed to: the poor, the disenfranchised, minorities in food and fiber production.
