Food in the Public Square Opening Event: Friday, May 20

If you are in or around Bethlehem Pennsylvania on May 20th, you may be interested in the opening forum for our FOOD IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE project.  Julie Guthman will give the keynote address. She writes about organic agriculture and the alternative food movement.  I love both of her books, Agrarian Dreams:  The Paradox of Organic Farming in California  and  Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice and The Limits of Capitalism  and pushed to have her as our opening speaker!

I will update you about the specifics of her talk and mine in the scholars panel that follows.
