The lecture begins at 6 p.m. at UA 糖心视频logo Downtown, 333 President Clinton Ave. Willis will discuss how food shapes our identity, social relationships, and even acts as a resource to blur or distinguish people across social categories. He will focus on a particular form of poverty鈥� food insecurity鈥攁nd how it impacts lives and health through social, or non-nutritional pathways, such as one鈥檚 sense of social positioning in an unequal world. In the lecture, Willis also addresses fundamental questions about the character of food itself and its role in shaping social experiences such as trust and belonging.
