The Geopolitics of Hunger and Global Food Production
February 20 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm

We welcome Brittany Cook from Louisiana State University.
In a potential future without famine, what other frameworks should we use to address global hunger? What are other productive ways for thinking about food systems? This talk explores how racial capitalism highlights key problems in the relationship between food production, geopolitics, and development.
Reception and networking for this event will take place from 5 – 6pm.
