World on a Plate Guest Lecture Series: Dianna Darsney

Tue, Nov 3 · 4:10 PM Phillips Hall

B156. World on A Plate, a class designed by world-renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés, is an exploration of the many ways in which food and society interact. In this course and expanded guest lecture series, we invite you to think deeply about food in its many different roles – as a critical factor in public health, as an industry, as a science, as the medium of the craft of cooking, and as a political instrument. Join Dianna Darsney, Director of Global Initiatives for CARE, for this lecture. RSVP here.
