UWinnipeg hosts the third annual Canadian Food History Symposium on Thursday,April 2, 9:30 AM in 2B23, Oral History Centre. Third year students will present their research incorporating oral history interviews on topics of their choice.
“This is the third such symposium hosted by UWinnipeg,” said UWinnipeg’s Assistant Professor Dr. Janis Thiessen. “The symposium offers students an opportunity to share their original research (incorporating an oral history interview) with a broader audience, and invites that audience to consider the interesting and complex ways in which food shapes our history.”
The six student presenting are Madison Connolly, wine + identity; Aisha Entz, colonization + First Nations’ food; Andrea Guimond, poverty + diet; Kaysia Johnson, Jamaican Canadian food; Emily Nikkel, Manitoba hog producers; and Daniel Pastuck, soy.
The event is sponsored by the Provost and Vice-President Academic and by the Dean of Arts.
