Pablo Bose, Assistant Professor, UVM Department of Geography, and Teresa Mares, Assistant Professor, UVM Department of Anthropology speak about their research on food and migration in Vermont, particularly their involvement with two community projects-one that works with refugees on urban farming, and another that works with migrant workers on kitchen gardening. Through this talk, Drs. Bose and Mares will provide a deeper understanding of the connections among food, culture, and migration.

This presentation is being held in conjunction with the current Fleming Museum of Art exhibition, EAT: The Social Life of Food. and is co-sponsored by the University of Vermont’s Center for Research on Vermont.
