HITE Adele

was an early ALEPH2020 endorser and contributor. Regrettably, she passed away in April 2022. As a registered dietitian with a PhD in rhetoric, communication, and digital media, and graduate training in nutritional epidemiology and public health, her unique work combined science, medicine, and cultural studies to explore food politics, nutrition science, and public health nutrition policy. Hite's doctoral research focused on a critical examination of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (history, scientific underpinnings, effects on the food-health environment, and implications of these recommendations as a structure of power in the social and political aspects of food). More info on her extremely rich legacy is available on her personal and memorial website.
