The Graduate Association for Food Studies is thrilled to announce Food Studies (In)Digestion, a series of conversations for graduate students to search for, critique, expand, and understand our orientations to the food studies canon. Each part of this series serves as an opportunity to generate discussion about the field of food studies through its commonly read texts—and to reflect on how those texts provoke or prevent growth in the field.
Our first session "The Food Studies Dilemma: Searching for the Food Studies Canon" is on October 1st, at 1:30 EST. Register here: https://bit.ly/3c6fqgO
