Food is What Connects Us: Immigration, Community & Activism
2019-10-29 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Dr. Amy Harper, Anthropology Professor at COCC discusses “Food is What Connects Us: Immigration, Community & Activism at the Dinner Table

Much of the media coverage on global events today focuses on what divides us. Increasingly the rhetoric has become one of exclusion and protectionism. By focusing on a case study of neighborhood activists in Berlin, Germany, this talk will look at ways in which we can bridge differences by coming together to share meals. We will explore ways in which food can be used to build community while celebrating diversity.

The program is FREE and OPEN to the public but we encourage you to please RSVP to reserve your seat.

Sponsored by Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund and the Associated Students of COCC.
