Having always loved eating and practices around eating, Oishika first developed an interest in the social and cultural life of food during her degree in Sociology and Anthropology. Her prior experience in academic and policy research has contributed to her knowledge on how public systems function, and how best to study them. Now aspiring to be a food anthropologist, she hopes to work on contributing to a food system that is sustainable, cognizant of diversity, and begets tasty food.
