Eating Cultures: Race and Food

FOOD BOTH SUBJECT AND METHOD OF STUDY FOR UCHRI RESEARCHERS

Eating Cultures: Race and Food
Scholars working on the topic “Eating Cultures: Race and Food” collaborated this fall at UCHRI. Proposed and convened by E. Melanie DuPuis, Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Santa Cruz, the residential research group (RRG) is exploring ways in which eating practices intersect with race and social justice. DuPuis’s book Nature’s Perfect Food: How Milk Became America’s Drink (NYU Press, 2002) contains the germination of the topic the group is studying.
