Dr. Amy Trubek
Amy Trubek, professor and chair of the Nutrition and Food Sciences Department, has been awarded the 2021 Hubert W. Vogelmann Award for Excellence in Research & Scholarship by the UVM College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. A cultural anthropologist, chef, published author, and internationally recognized scholar in food systems research, she joins a select group of past award winners acknowledged for exemplary achievements in their fields.
From her childhood years of watching Julia Child on public television to starting a catering business in high school, Trubek was on a transdisciplinary path that would eventually combine research and education in anthropology and food systems. Her research interests include local and regional food systems, globalization of the food supply, the relationship between taste and place, and cooking as a cultural practice.
