Food, Nutrition, and Inequality in Latin America Symposium

The Food, Nutrition, and Inequality Symposium brings to the TCU community six of the premier national and international experts on food in Latin America and the Caribbean from a broad range of academic disciplines. Scholars will explore barriers to food access, nutritional disparities, global food regimes, US trade policy vis-à-vis Latin America, urban food provisioning systems, medical and public health perspectives on food access, and social and political conflicts over food.

The daylong event will consist of a series of short presentations by invited scholars whose work addresses food politics in the region, a plenary by Dr. Enrique Ochoa, a keynote by Dr. Hanna Garth, as well as a manuscript workshop for “The Land of the Skinny Cow: Beef Politics in Cuba, 1927-1963.”

The event is free and open to the public.
