I’m delighted to have been invited to give a talk Monday 20 May by the “The Environmental Afterlives of the Suez Canal” research project based at the Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University. Karin Ahlberg, the project’s director, will generously serve as the discussant.
When a fish disappears, what happens to the chips that accompany it? How does the relationship between eating and ecology ebb and flow? And how do cuisines spark and, then, respond to environmental transformations? These questions set up my talk “Codscapes and Culinary Knots,”which will introduce the “Off the Menu: Appetites, Culture, and Environment” research group at the University of Augsburg.
