Dear UNCG Faculty, Staff, and Students:
In less than a
month—January 30-February 2—we’ll be meeting here in the Elliott University Center
and at Greensboro’s O.Henry and Proximity Hotels for our groundbreaking feast
of ideas and food, Atlantic World Foodways: The Carolina Lowcountry, Africa,
Italy, and Spain. As you'll see from the conference weblink below, the
program has come together in exciting ways!
This is a rare chance to hear and
meet world-class food scholars and chefs, and to eat some of their wonderful
meals, all here on campus and in town. Sponsored by specialty grocer The Fresh
Market in partnership with The Proximity and O.Henry Hotels, Atlantic World
Foodways presents meals from the likes of renowned Charleston Chef Sean
Brock, Italian maestro Gabriele Grigolon, and the Piedmont’s own
master chefs Jay Pierce, Leigh Hesling, and Tim Bocholis.
Featuring keynote addresses by famed
food scholars Jessica Harris (Africa), David Shields
(Lowcountry), John Dickie (Italy), and Maricel Presilla (Latin
America/Spain), the conference also will feature over 40 papers and panel
discussions and food-related films amid the venues of the UNC Greensboro campus
and the marvelous Proximity and O.Henry Hotels nearby.
Perhaps best of all, registration is free for all UNCG
faculty, students and staff (lunches and dinners extra) via the second
link found at
and seats for the multi-course tasting meals can be purchased
with your credit card via the fourth link found there.
For all conference details—including
not only registration, but also menus, and the event schedule, see
See you there, and bring your appetite!
