Food is What Connects Us: Immigration, Community & Activism at the Dinner Table

Much of the media coverage on global events today focuses on what divides us. Increasingly the rhetoric has become one of exclusion and protectionism. By focusing on a case study of neighborhood activists in Berlin, Germany, this talk will explore ways in which we can bridge differences by coming together to share meals.
