She is passionate about cultivating citizens who think critically and are compelled to shape the larger community. Adrienne seeks to expose connections between justice and sustainability so students understand both their ecological and socially-constructed positions. Her commitment to these ideals is illustrated in the community engaged learning courses she teaches including Eating for Justice, Health, and Sustainability and Environmental Justice. One theme in both of these courses is engaging students in the skills, concepts, and community orientations needed to critically consider their role in the global agro-industrial food chain. The University’s Office of Equity and Diversity recently recognized Dr.Cachelin as an advocate for social justice both on campus and in the broader community.
