  • Wednesday, April 6, 6:00 pm – Urban Agriculture, the City, and Perceptions of Public Space

    Boston University presents Rachel Eden Black, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of the Gastronomy Program, in a free lecture on Wednesday, April 6 beginning at 6 pm at 808 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, entitled Urban Agriculture, the City, and Perceptions of Public Space.  A reception will follow the talk.  Reservations are required – please call 617-353-9852.  The program is part of BU’s series “Taking Food Public.”  Food is a focus of highly intimate and personal behaviors, while at the same time serving as a central force in political, social, and economic behavior and discourse.  “Taking Food Public” epitomizes the slogan that “the personal is political” while exploring all the ways that people explicitly produce, consume, exchange, or construct meanings with food in public spaces.  Image of Mayor Menino at ReVision House, Inc.  from www.theepochtimes.com.
