Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study
Women, Men, and Food:Putting Gender on the Table 

Radcliffe Gymnasium
10 Garden Street, Radcliffe Yard
Cambridge, Massachusetts

The Radcliffe Institute’s fifth annual gender conference explores the relationship between food and gender, from production to preparation to consumption. Panels consider the variety of ways in which men and women shape food, and how, in turn, food and foodways shape men and women. The extraordinary culinary collection of the Schlesinger Library provides inspiration for the conference and its investigation of such topics as cooking, eating, famine, nutrition, obesity, anorexia, food writing, and food studies.

Admission is free and registration is required. To register, please visit www.radcliffe.edu or call 617-495-8600 for more information.
