Digest: A Journal of Foodways & Culture 11 (2025): 69-71 ©American Folklore Society 2025 Editors and Editorial Board for Digest Volume 11 (2025) Theresa A. Vaughan (Lead Editor) is Associate Dean of the University of Central Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts, and a professor in the Department of Humanities and Philosophy. She co-edited The Encyclopedia of Women’s Folklore and Folklife with Liz Locke and Pauline Greenhill, and recently published Women, Food, and Diet in the Middle Ages: Balancing the Humours (University of Amsterdam Press, 2020).

Jessica Noe (Book Review Editor) is a doctoral candidate specializing in work at the intersection of performance, narrative, memory, and food within the field of communication studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Pulling from the theories and traditions of performance and cultural studies as they find their areas of overlap in communication studies and folklore, her interdisciplinary research focuses on understanding how communities work to articulate a meaningful existence through stories surrounding their performances of group memory and food labor. Her dissertation, Baked In: Women’s Role in Curating and Creating Family Culture Through Culinary Performance, focuses on the intersection of performance, memory, and female embodied labor practices within an extended family’s food traditions. Digest Editorial Board Charley Camp teaches folklife studies at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. He curated the Smithsonian Institution exhibition, “Key Ingredients: America by Food,” that traveled to forty-nine states. Janet Gilmore served as Digest’s chief editor from 2016-2021. An emeritus professor in Folklore and Landscape Architecture at University of Wisconsin-Madison, she built her teaching, research, and outreach practices on foodways, historical and cultural landscape conservation, public folklore project collections access, and decades of experience as an independent folklorist coordinating with numerous non-profit arts and historical organizations chiefly in the western Great Lakes region and her native Pacific Northwest. Fishing people, maritime workers, folk artists, and farming people led her to publish, present, and contribute to exhibits and festivals that relate to the regions’ foodways and food landscapes—whether indigenous, old immigrant, new immigrant, or refugee. Personal interests in food, cooking, and cookbooks, inspired early in her western Oregon home, have now come full circle as she explores her mother’s and grandmother’s Pacific Northwestern- Upper Midwestern food legacies and her nuclear and extended families’ related spatial, landscape, and architectural practices.
