Toronto Metropolitan Centre for Immigration and Settlement

The seminar is co-hosted by the Toronto Metropolitan Centre for Immigration and Settlement (TMCIS) and the Centre for Studies in Food Security (CSFS)

Description:

Join us for an enriching exploration of ethnic and immigrant food experiences, where we delve into discussions around food access, food culture and food liberation across the life course. Our discussions explore diverse narratives about food experiences, how food access and practice shift and change throughout one’s life and how those changes can be unique to one’s cultural background. We look at the experiences of children and youth in the context of school lunchrooms; the cultural, financial, and systemic factors that influence food access for international students; engaging young adults in food sovereignty; and the cultural appropriateness of food in seniors’ congregate dining settings and meal delivery programs.

Panelists: 

Yukari Seko - Associate Professor, School of Professional Communication
Sutama Ghosh - Associate Professor, Department Of Geography and Environmental Studies.
Ekow Stone - Farmer and Educator, Giving Farms  & Youth Engagement Coordinator, FoodShare
