This talk is part of the Integration and Belonging Hub’s Belonging Talks Series, and is co-sponsored by the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice, the Sustainable Food Systems Program, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the Sociology Department, and the Political Science Department, with the generous support of the Chester Bland Fund.
Speaker: Panagiotis (“Chef Panos”) Karafoulidis, Gastro Routes
For the Fall ‘24 semester, the Belonging Talks Series will explore the theme of “Food, Migration, and Belonging: Sustainable Practices for Integrated Communities.” Our speakers will present on the role of food and cooking in mobile homemaking and as contributing to sustainable and inclusive societies.
We are very excited to be joined by Chef Panos, who will be cooking a dish live during the webinar event while sharing about his Pontic Greek family heritage. His ancestors came as refugees to Greece from the southern Black Sea coast of modern-day Turkey. Panos now runs a culinary tour agency, Gastro Routes, based in Thessaloniki, Greece, where Professor Anita Fábos teaches the summer program, “Food, Migration, and Belonging in Thessaloniki” (co-taught by Leora Kahn).
Moderator: Ramon Borges-Mendez, Associate Professor of Sustainability and Social Justice, Clark University
