Workshop and Symposium at the University of Arizona
What should we eat? Dietary choice has preoccupied and perplexed societies worldwide—so devilishly simple and confoundingly involved at once. Join us for a day of presentations and discussion by prominent food studies scholars as we seek to reimagine healthful consumption in a global, humanistic framework.
Featuring contributions from historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and nutritionists, this symposium will take us around the globe: from the tables and narratives of African diaspora to Japan’s inner world of microbial fermentation; from the cookbooks of late-colonial Mexico to the politics of vegetarianism; from inside US prison dietary programs to the healing foods of Cambodia, and much more. We hope you will join us as we ask together: is there such a thing as ‘eating right everywhere’?
Free and open to the public; Lunch provided
