University of Oregon Food Justice Conference: What is Food Justice?

[CommentorX]

I'd like to hear more about professors that have lost tenure because of their opposition to Monsanto / deep pockets, Personally, I wonder if academia (pre-tenure, at least) is just about begging for money nowadays.

@CommentorX I lost two guest professorships in France late last year and am still not paid cuz I used web bot as an icebreaker. I was not even given a program to follow for one lectureship in Nanterre. In Villetaneuse, I followed their program but they seemed to have a big problem with my stuff. I also was proposed HALF of what they offered in 2004! Half! And the original price was not even correct! This is L'education Nationale in France and I am STILL NOT PAID. Feh.

@CommentorX They normally only pay twice a year here for guest professors in France and once per year in Italy and I have heard of people never being paid by Italy. The prof before me in Villetaneuse was attacked by a gang along with her students and extorted and she ran off. I was the first prof they'd gotten in a long time. As of now, three lectureships, none of the students have their grades. This was L'Université de Paris!

@CommentorX The universities in France are not subject to French labor courts at all. I did alert the Work Inspector. Correctly, in French, in writing, by registered mail. I also met with Nanterre in January and was promised full pay in February. Liars. I have a LOT of vids up on YT about this, also on Dailymotion. I have two channels here and also a website.

Thank you for sharing this video. I wish everyone in America would open their eyes and see what is really going on with our food system. Even if I try and tell my friends and family, they don't want to hear it, first step is acceptance.

@mrsfinchie It's a very important subject which affects so many people - and will continue to grow. Don't give up, keep the conversation going.

Audio problems here. Buzz, low sound levels, cannot correct from my end, sorry cannot view.

@slobomotion Sorry you had a bad experience. There is a buzz from the sound system, tho I'm able to follow what they say throughout the video.

@cookingupastory I am very tenacious but this was just too much.  Probably not your fault. I studied corporate accountability formally and this is a great topic.
