The Thought for Food seminar series examines challenging themes in food studies. If we are indeed what we eat, how do the lies and half-truths we consume shape our identities and behaviours? Given our colonial history, what could a just food system look like, considering how the intersections of gender, race, class, age, and location affect access to healthful food? Are there concrete examples that we can learn from one another about food, its production and consumption, its circuits, and impact? The goal of these dialogues and presentations is to provide a platform for students, academics, activists, and policymakers to learn from ongoing work aimed at fostering more sustainable food production systems in Africa.
