OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies <\/a>and the Southern Foodways Alliance<\/a> at the University of Mississippi have teamed up for a lecture and graduate student symposium examining the relationships between women, work and food.<\/p>\n

The sessions, set for Sept. 12 and 13, are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The 18th\u00a0annual Lucy Somerville Howorth Lecture begins at 7 p.m. Sept. 12 in the Barnard Observatory Tupelo Room. Kimberly Wallace-Sanders, associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Graduate Institute of Liberal Arts at Emory University, will address “Dishing up Dixie in the ‘Post-Racial’ South.” She is the author of “Mammy: A Century of Race, Gender and Southern Memory.” Co-sponsors of the event are the UM departments of African-American Studies<\/a>, English, history and sociology and anthropology.<\/p>\n

“When we learned that the Southern Foodways Alliance was planning its annual symposium around women and work this coming October, we thought this would be a great opportunity to work together on a related venture as a way to build a continuing dialogue,” said Theresa Starkey, assistant director of the Isom Center.<\/p>\n

“Knowing that there was really great research being produced by M.A. and Ph.D. students on this topic, we decided to create a forum that would build on our annual lecture and provide a day for young scholars and our campus and broader community to reflect on the many ways in which food and women and their labor intertwines, ” said Susan Grayzel,\u00a0professor of history and director of the center.<\/p>\n

The Sept. 13 symposium of panel discussions begins at 9 a.m. in the Yerby Center. Topics include “Talking with Our Mouths Full: Women, Food and Oral Histories,” “Consumption, Production and Restaurant Culture,” “Nutrition and Activism” and “Reading and Representing the Southern Kitchen.”<\/p>\n

Plenary speakers include Megan Abbott, Grisham writer-in-residence, discussing “Mildred Pierce.” Desir\u00e9e Hensley and Allison Korn, both from the UM law school’s Civil Legal Clinic, will address fishing, farming and female self-sufficiency in the Mississippi Delta as an issue of political and civil rights.<\/p>\n
