I Eat, Therefore I Am: Asian Foodways in Migration Talk (Prof. Eileen Chow)

This talk focuses on foodways and food cultures of East Asia and global Asian diasporic communities, with a particular focus on immigrant foodways in the U.S. – including the way Asian American communities participate in food as economic and environmental systems; food as language, history, cultural memory, religious practice, identity and national markers; food as history of plenitude and hunger; and the discourse of food as danger (from foreignness to cannibalism to zoonotic contagion).

Light Asian refreshment starts at 4:30 PM
