The purpose of this research is to study the performance of a device called PrevisEA, an investigational device not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This research is sponsored by the maker of the PrevisEA device, Entac Medical Inc. This device listens to and records abdominal sounds which provides data that can help predict gastrointestinal impairment (GII). GII is a condition that is defined as the failure of oral re-feeding after abdominal surgery. This happens when any of the following events happen beyond 24-hours after abdominal surgery; • Vomiting • The need for your doctor to reverse the diet • The need for your doctor to place a nasogastric (NG) tube in you. A NG tube is a flexible rubber or plastic tube that is placed through the nose and down into the stomach. It can be used to carry food directly to the stomach.

My dissertation, Baked In: Women's Role in Curating and Creating Family Culture Through Culinary Performance, works from the central assumption that a decent part of communal memory includes some aspect of food, and particularly for many families, those memories are tied to the bodies of the women who hold the recipes or knowledge of how to make those dishes. My project engages my own family's food traditions through interviews, participant observation, and personal narrative to explore the ways that families writ large and women in particular work to build a sense of community culture through food and the stories surrounding that food. Whether dealing with memory that lives within the body or within narrative, food is a bold, embodied performance of self and community identity.
