In this introduction to the special issue on “Foodways and Inequality: Toward a Sociology of Food Culture and Movements,” we describe our path to the sociological study inequality through food, and how the articles included in this special issue fit this framework. The overarching goal of this issue is to present a multifaceted approach to studying food from more cultural and structural perspectives. In particular, the authors take varied approaches to understanding how inequalities shape individual’s experiences with food while also offering possible solutions through a more humanist sociological project around food and foodways. The articles and reviews included in this special issue offer much needed sociological insights into current social problems centering on food such as hunger and exploitation.
