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.
