Caroline Merrifield completed her PhD in sociocultural anthropology at Yale in 2018. Her research focuses on food sourcing arrangements in China within the context of China’s growing food movement. In this research, food is a crucial site for investigating problems of moral consensus-making in a time of Chinese “moral crisis.”
