Food Literacy Project Speaker Series: Intro to HUDS

We're thrilled to kick off the semester with a crash course on all things HUDS. This event is open to all HUID holders. The guest speaker will be Crista Martin, Director for Strategic Initiatives and Communications at Harvard Dining Services. During this presentation, learn what it's like to work with a wide network of farmers and vendors, develop diverse menus, and what it takes to provide students with 20,000+ meals per day.

Food Literacy Project Speaker Series: Dr. Claire Bunschoten on Vanilla and How it Shapes American Life

Smith Campus Center, 2nd Floor, Mt. Auburn Room

Dr. Bunschoten is the Abbott Lowell Cummings Postdoctoral Fellow in American Material Culture at Boston University’s American and New England Studies Program. Her manuscript project “examines the politics and social worlds of vanilla—as an ingredient, a flavor, a fragrance, and a euphemism for race—in the context of everyday life in the United States. Cumulatively it explores how vanilla contains multitudes yet communicates the ordinary alongside normative ideological positions as they are tied to class status, ethnicity, gender, and race in the United States.” Registration is encouraged, as seating is limited.
