How can the arts and humanities enhance the work of public health?  Particularly around food and land justice issues?

Join us to learn about the UWM Center for 21^st Century Studies exploration of food and land justice in their programming “Nourishing Trust.”

Center Director, MacArthur Fellow Anne Basting, and Deputy Director Nicole Welk-Joerger (PhD in the History of Medicine, Science and Technology from U Penn), talk about how their community-based participatory research model for engaging scholars and community experts in generating program design, which includes short form podcasts, virtual roundtable discussions, a story survey and art exhibit, and an “interactive book club.”

This session will be conversational and invite attendees to complete the story survey – in addition to exploring the historical and philosophical dimensions of food and land justice while showcasing current initiatives toward improving food access and equity.
