Jin-Kyu Jung coauthors 鈥淒igital Food Apartheid: The Uneven Food Geographies of Seattle In The Era of Amazon鈥
Jin-Kyu Jung has published a co-authored paper, 鈥渋n Environment and Planning F: Philosophy, Theory, Models, Methods and Practice. The paper puts forward the concept of 鈥渄igital food apartheid鈥 to articulate differentiation in terms of one鈥檚 agency concerning their food that is mediated by, reified through, or materialized from data or digital infrastructure, given the omnipresence of racial capitalism. It examines the digitization of public food assistance in the U.S. in conversation with Black digital geographies, food geographies, and critical GIS, paying particular attention to the US Department of Agriculture鈥檚 COVID-19-era Online Grocery Purchase Program (OPP), which gives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants access to online grocery shopping and delivery.
