Learning from Experience:
The Food Studies Program Directors Project
Funded by a Humanities Connections grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Virginia Tech Food Studies Program sought to gain insight from established food studies programs in order to develop the curriculum for a new humanities-focused food studies minor and to build our interdisciplinary program more generally. We invited food studies leaders from a range of institutions to offer virtual presentations [webinar series] about and written accounts of their programs' histories, events, curricula, and central lessons. We now share these materials with the broader food studies community.
