This reflective essay discusses the genesis of the exhibition, our curatorial decisions, and the interactions among students, faculty, and community members that we observed within the gallery. The project supported university goals of cross-disciplinary and public scholarship, created a space for members of the urban agriculture community to learn from each other, and demonstrated the potential for an exhibition platform to serve as a vehicle for liberal arts and design schools to engage in food systems research, teaching, design practice, and public engagement. While the essay focuses on the specific instance of this exhibition and interdisciplinary collaboration, it suggests some implications for consideration by other urban institutions of higher education.</span><br /><p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, author={Cohen, Nevin and Subramaniam, Radhika}, year={2012}, month={Jun.}, pages={91–102} }
