MIGC 2023: Nourish, Food & Trust
Apr 28, 2023 @ 11:00 am - Apr 29, 2023 @ 2:30 pm
Nourish. Food & Trust.
18th Annual Midwest Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
-
How do scholars across disciplines approach the connection between food and trust within the broad theme of nourish?
-
How do scholars approach human rights, such as access to food, in a way that fosters trust among non-academics?
-
How can scholars center queer and BIPOC cultural ways of knowing when approaching topics related to food and land justice?
We are also pleased to announce this year’s keynote as Suparna Kure Kudesia, PhD. She is the executive director of CoFED: Cooperative Food Empowerment Directive, a QTBIPOC-led organization that partners with young folks of color to build food and land co-ops.
