I am interested in food waste, technology and gender, and how objects and systems affect our food waste practices. I will be taking a case study of the fridge and looking at 1) how the fridge evolved to what it is today, 2) how people are using it now and 3) what claims are being made about the future of the fridge, and by whom. I hope to uncover whether food waste was factored into the modern design of the fridge, and to what extent the fridge has agency in our household food waste.
