Dr. Ashante Reese: Food and the Black Radical Imagination: Thinking, Writing and Living Beyond Lack

Part of the UNH 21-Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge

Wednesday, March 29, 3-4:30 p.m. | UNH Cole Hall, Room 219 | Students, faculty and staff welcomed!

Dr. Ashante Reese, assistant professor of African and African diaspora studies at the University of Texas at Austin, will discuss how "access" often frames contemporary conversations around food inequities. Reese, the author of Black Food Geographies will discuss how thinking reflexively about what “access” does and doesn’t do as a framework for creating an equitable future and explore how the experience of delight coupled with the Black radical imagination offer alternative pathways for imagining food provisioning and consumption.

After Dr. Reese’s talk, Karen Spiller, UNH's Thomas W. Haas Professor in Sustainable Food Systems will highlight the different ways you can engage with the Challenge across campus and around the world. Join us for a catered reception after the talk.
