Don holds a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a master’s in public health from the University of California, Berkeley. For the past three decades his research and writing have focused on the meat and poultry industry in North America; rural industrialization and rapid-growth communities; industrial agriculture’s impact on farmers, processing workers, and rural communities; and food. Since 1998 he has studied agricultural transformation in Western Kentucky, where he is half-owner of a grain farm that has been in his family
since the early 19th century. Dona’s farm is located a few miles from a Tyson chicken plant and in the county with the most chicken CAFOs in the commonwealth. Don previously edited the journal Culture & Agriculture and co-edited Any Way You Cut It: Meat Processing and Small-Town America (University Press of Kansas, 1995). An updated and expanded second edition of his book (with Michael Broadway) Slaughterhouse Blues: The Meat and Poultry Industry of North America was published in 2013 (Wadsworth). His most research, funded by the Spencer Foundation, examined how the changing geography of immigration has affected schools and educators in Garden City, Kansas, a community he has studied for 30 years. Don is vice-president of the Organization for Competitive Markets; he and his wife Laura divide their time between Lawrence, Kansas, and Dona’s hometown of Sebree, Kentucky.
