Description

The table is set and a bountiful banquet of thought-provoking sessions is prepared for the Humanities Symposium! Dr. David C. Julseth, chair of the Department of Foreign Languages at Belmont University, begins our discussion of Encountering Otherness with his research into the connections between culture and cuisine. At a basic level, food brings us together for sustenance yet it also separates us along social and cultural lines. Dr. Julseth will discuss authors who incorporate food to reveal the worlds in which their characters live. In addition, he will share his experiences learning to cook in order to interact with others, have a hands-on cultural experience, and gain related knowledge and skills.
