Dr Alana Mann teaches in the Media and Communications Department within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Sydney. The focus of her research is political communication, specifically the engagement of non-state actors in international politics. She applies an interdisciplinary approach with a strong focus on democracy, social justice and citizenship that is reflected in her focus on the power relations between the media, governments, institutions and civil society actors in the field of food security. Her book Global Activism in Food Politics: Power Shift, scheduled for publication by Palgrave McMillan in March 2014, has been described by Professor Philip McMichael of Cornell University as 'a comprehensive, multi-dimensional account of the global food system and its generation from crisis of a burgeoning food sovereignty counter-movement' that offers a 'didactic and challenging template to agri-food scholars and activists alike'. In her research and teaching Mann draws on grounded case studies of agrarian movements in countries including Chile, Mexico and Spain to theorise a diversity of counter-movement organising strategies and political alliances.
