Henry Whitcomb 1874 Professor of Anthropology. Why do anthropologists study food? Of course, they are interested in food “cultures” as they develop and change in different contexts. But, there is more to their study of food than this. As I will show, food (including its absence in such phenomena as famine and eating disorders) must be understood broadly. What one eats, when one eats, with whom one eats, how one eats, and how one acquires what one eats are all (within certain physiological and other practical limits) socially, culturally, and politically constructed. Food is used to define social groups, kinship, equalities and inequalities of being, the holy, as well as personal and moral value. It is, thus, a primary “social fact.” Like sex, food is of unavoidable biological importance and, therefore, the subject of tremendous elaboration and manipulation.</p><p><i>Stirn Auditorium</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="views-field views-field-field-reunion-event-date-1">3:15 - 4:15pm </td> <td class="views-field views-field-title views-field-body views-field-field-reunion-event-location views-field-edit-node">Politics of Food<p>Faculty lecture with Jessica Hejny, Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies.

O'Hara, Amanda and Lisa Cross Professor of Chemistry. Join us for an exploration of the history, cultivation, harvesting and processing of olives and olive oil. What can we learn about the freshness and authenticity of oils based on some simple chemical tests that can protect us from rancid or fraudulent oils? How do we train our senses to appreciate some of the world’s finest extra virgin olive oils and what is the difference between cold press or first press? What are scientists learning about the health benefits of this “liquid gold”? Learn some tips about cooking with olive oil and hear of some of the non‐traditional and surprising uses of this vital substance.</p><p><i>Stirn Auditorium</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="views-field views-field-field-reunion-event-date-1">10:00 - 10:15am </td> <td class="views-field views-field-title views-field-body views-field-field-reunion-event-location views-field-edit-node">Break </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="views-field views-field-field-reunion-event-date-1">10:15 - 11:30am </td> <td class="views-field views-field-title views-field-body views-field-field-reunion-event-location views-field-edit-node">Food Entrepreneurship Panel<p>Alumni and parents share their experiences in the up and down world of food entrepreneurship.
