From Future of Museums:
Feeding the Spirit: Museums, Food and Community
Feb. 17, 2012 1:45–5 p.m. (ET)
A free webcast
Register today.
Join colleagues across America for a “national potluck” exploring how museums can promote food literacy, make their food services healthy and sustainable, and use food to build audience and strengthen community connections.
We provide: dynamic speakers, commentary and discussion by museum experts; forums for you to connect with colleagues via chat and social media; suggested recipes for your potluck! Registrants will also receive the Feeding the Spirit Cookbook: a Resource and Discussion Guide.
You provide: a venue for you and your colleagues to view the webcast, contribute to the national conversation and discuss how your museum wants to tackle food issues. And (of course), food!
The webcast includes presentations by:
- Jeannette Ickovics, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Conn.
- Elizabeth Meltz, director of food safety and sustainability, Batali/Bastianich Hospitality Group, New York
- Erika Allen, Chicago and National Outreach Coordinator, Growing Power
- Live commentary and discussion by museum practitioners pioneering the exploration of museums and food
- 2012 CFM Lecture “Serve It Up Proudly! Some Food for Thought on The Intersections of Food Studies and Museums” by Dr. Jessica B. Harris, culinary historian, Queens College, CUNY; Ray Charles Program, Dillard University.
