This article explores how North Carolina State University conducted asset-mapping workshops, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) method, to mobilize the campus community and identify solutions to address the root causes of food insecurity and other forms of basic needs insecurity among students. Workshop participants identified exemplary resources focused on addressing students’ immediate needs (e.g., campus food pantries, a student emergency fund). At the same time, they stated that basic needs insecurity is tied to longer-term, systemic issues like wage inequality and a lack of affordable housing. Participants also noted that historically marginalized students (e.g., LGBTQ+, low-income, first-generation college) often experience food and housing insecurity in complex ways requiring targeted solutions. Our results suggest that CBPR methods like asset mapping offer an approach that, when done well, can center the voices and experiences of diverse campus populations to identify and address the complex structural and systemic processes that shape students’ experiences of food and housing insecurity.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, publisher={Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems}, author={Shisler, Rebecca and Cordero Oceguera, Emilia and Hardison-Moody, Annie and Bowen, Sarah}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={135–153} }

In the penultimate scene the camera records dozens of community members walking through a valley singing “The water belongs to the people and not the miners.” They arrive at a place on the shore of Cajamarca’s Blue Lagoon whose ownership is in dispute. The protesters stand on a hilltop declaring their communal right to the property, and the director gives us a panoramic view in which we can see, as they can, the Yanacocha mine’s private security forces and the federal riot police awaiting them in the valley. Next comes a distance shot in which the community members are distributing food and talking. In contrast, the security forces and the police are shot from several meters away, generating a distance and thus locating them in the eyes of the protesters and increasing the dramatic tension between the oppressed and their oppressors. Attention is then directed to the arrival of the representatives of the Attorney General’s Office, who are trying to end the mobilization although they profess to be neutral. Next the director, in silence, foregrounds the faces of some community members to illustrate the tension, showing their anguish and determination. A medium shot shows the protagonist, Nélida Ayay, informing a local radio station of a possible police attack on the protesters. Finally, and without explanation, the police and the security forces go away. This is a story of a momentary victory against capital. The filmmaker is telling the story of a social struggle in Cajamarca, Peru, against gold extraction in the Conga lagoons by the Yanacocha mine (which is controlled by a joint venture involving the World Bank, the Peruvian company Buenaventura, and the U.S. Newmont Mining Corporation). He tells it from the experience of the activist Nélida Ayay. If Yanacocha wins, Ayay and her people will run out of water and may be displaced, with the area ending up contaminated. Tangentially, the documentary shows another mining conflict in Bolivia, where the town has already run out of water because of mining pollution (Figure 1). The documentary does a good job in giving pride of place to a woman’s story without overlooking those of the others involved. It shows how Ayay, who is studying to be a lawyer, listens to locals and explains their rights to them while connecting us to a}, journal={LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES}, author={Oceguera, Emilia Cordero and Grandon, Daniela Garcia and Smolski, Andrew R.}, year={2020}, month={Dec} }
