An Appetite for the Past - 30/04/2018, New York (NY, USA)
This endeavor will bring scholars of the ancient world and food specialists together to create and serve the fruits of their collaborative efforts to the NYU community. Teams composed of chefs and scholars are cooperating on research projects focusing on food to study and create a consumable final product. The organizers' aim is not simply to combine ingredients in a pot from a particular time and place. Instead, the nature of each team’s project will be one in which collaboration between various specialists will provide for novel and concrete research perspectives. There are seven teams spanning the globe and countless millennia each working together on multi-disciplinary projects investigating complex social issues by addressing food and cuisine.
