Food and Development
Food and Development: Views from the Field
Tuesday 16 May, 4-6pm
Oculus, OC.005
Confirmed panellists:
Dr Merisa Thompson (University of Sheffield) 'The Gendered Construction of Food Producing Identities in Trinidad and Tobago'
Dr Ben Richardson (University of Warwick) 'Race, Place and Redundancy in Guyana's Sugar Industry'
Dr Sara Stevano (SOAS) 'From Food to Nutrition Narratives: The Commercialisation of Health Promotion in Ghana'
How does the production, trade and consumption of food shape people’s livelihoods and life chances? And what can fieldwork tell us about such developmental questions that other methods cannot? Drawing on their own in-country research, the three panellists address these topics.
