Rejection is an inevitable part of any professional or academic journey—whether it’s a declined journal submission, job application, or funding proposal. Navigating rejections means developing the emotional resilience to handle setbacks, the critical thinking to learn from feedback, and the motivation to keep moving forward. This process transforms rejection from a discouragement into an opportunity for growth, refinement, and eventual success.

Decolonizing the Pot: Gender, Race, and Power in Food Writing” is a critical exploration of how food narratives and practices are deeply intertwined with issues of gender, race, and power. This topic delves into the ways in which colonial histories have shaped food cultures, often marginalizing or misrepresenting the culinary traditions of people of color. It challenges dominant food narratives by highlighting the contributions and experiences of marginalized communities, particularly focusing on how food writing can either perpetuate or resist these power dynamics.
