More than a Meal: Exploring the culture behind food production and consumption
Embark on a palatable discussion re-connecting to climate, consumption and cuisine cultures.
About More than a Meal: Exploring the culture behind food production and consumption
As the climate changes and food production becomes more reliant on techno-solutions, our eating habits and culinary culture changes too.
Join Tiffany Mak - research scientist on Microbial Ecology and the Food System - Dr. Rhys Williams - lecturer in Energy and Environmental Humanities at the University of Glasgow - and Sean Wai Keung - Glasgow-based food poet and writer - as they look at the ways food infrastructure and production impact our health and culture.
We’ll also be discussing how the rich variety of culinary cultures and farming methods around the world could provide alternatives to techno-industrial farming methods, and how shifting populations adapt their eating cultures to resource availability.
Refreshments and a networking session are included.
Following the talk, Sean Wai Keung will lead an interactive workshop exploring creative food-writing, community, and cooking. If interested, please register separately.
Bio-Lit Talks is an interdisciplinary collaboration exploring biological research from the perspectives of the Arts, Sciences and Humanities. In this series, we are discussing the gut and how it impacts our lives. We’ll examine our inner ecosystem and its significance to our behaviour, nutrition, food culture and societal way of being.
Structured as a four-event series and focusing on a new topic each week, join us as we explore ourselves at our core.

Wednesday, 2 November 2022, 4-6 PM (GMT) - Inner Ecosystems: entanglements of the gut microbiome across Science, Literature, and Art
