Thinking Food: Reimagining the Past through Food Justice

This two-day colloquium approaches the history of food—both as a scholarly discipline and public discourse—through the lens of food justice.
About this Event

Join us for a two-day colloquium with speakers, chef demonstrations, and shared meals.

As a tool for storytelling, inspiration, or cultural preservation, we will explore how greater knowledge of the past can become a powerful avenue for upsetting dominant narratives about food historically and today.
