Samina Raja
Dr. Raja is currently directing Growing Food Connections, a comprehensive five-year initiative funded by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to build capacity of local governments to strengthen food systems. Her additional research interests include the role of planning in communities experiencing conflict (she is especially interested in the region of Kashmir in South Asia), and the fiscal dimensions of urban and regional planning.

I of course think Samina does remarkable work. I'd especially love to hear her talk about her work on fiscal elements of urban planning as a mechanism for significantly changing city investment/practices (as opposed to simply pushing for new plans or policies). But...Samina did just speak here this past Spring (2010 for Food Literacy for All), so we may want to wait on inviting her again for another year or two
