What Shall We Cook Tomorrow? Ireland On The Kitchen Front, Marzena Keating

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

In February 1941, the Cookery Editor of Model Housekeeping in the article published in Irish Grocer stressed: ‘It is no longer with us womenfolk a question of what we shall have for breakfast, dinner or tea, but what can we get and what can we afford’ (6). Although not directly involved in the Second World War, at the time known in Ireland as the Emergency (1939–1946), the Irish economy was strongly affected. As Ireland was dependent on outside suppliers for certain commodities, including fuel, machinery, fertilisers, ‘the possibility of expending agricultural output was severely constrained’ (Kennedy, Giblin and McHugh, 1989, …

Italian Soldiers In Wwi And The Emergence Of A National Culinary Identity, David Michael Bell, Theresa Moran

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Emilio Lusso (2014, pp.127–128), in his WWI memoir of the Italian southern front, remembers his orderly telling him: ‘I like eating all those little birds with polenta, don’t get me wrong. Fig peckers are tasty. But, no offense to the Veneto, I prefer roasted blackbirds and thrushes.’ The birds, he insists, must be roasted on a wooden spit, never metal: ‘You have to use soft wood. Chew on it a little and check the flavor.’ Encounters over food customs, choices, and preferences are consequences of war’s disruption. This disruption of foodways is most immediately felt in terms of shortages, rationing, …

What Shall We Have Today?: Culinary Adaptation In World War I Paris, Kyri W. Claflin

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

During the First World War, many foods vanished from the markets and shops of Paris. Disruptions along rail lines meant that food shipments from the provinces were often delayed. The continually rising cost of food was a significant hardship. This study of wartime cookbooks examines the kinds of practical knowledge food writers offered Frenchwomen to enable them to shift to a war footing and guide them as they shopped and cooked under these extraordinary conditions. I end the paper with a look at how wartime cooking trends influenced French cuisine in the post-war decade.

Eating Abroad, Remembering Home: Violent Disruption, The Irish Diaspora, And Their Food Parcels, 1845–1960, John Mulcahy

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Disruption, like change, is a constant in human history. So is food, a component of survival so vital that it, and the ecosystem which produces it, becomes as ‘invisible’ as breathing (Symons, 1998, p.185). Arguably, when the wellbeing of self, friends or family is at stake, food becomes a primary concern and we get innovative, no matter what role is imposed by the disruption, especially if violent. At a fundamental level, violent disruption redefines what food is, and how and when it is available (Mulcahy, 2019, p.24). in this regard, food parcels have been significant, particularly for both troops and …

The Role Of Food Tourism In Supporting Vibrant Identities And Building Education Among Diverse Communities And Visitors, Camilo Montoya-Guevara, Caroline Morrow, Trevor Jonas Benson

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Toronto, located in the province of Ontario, is the largest city in Canada and has been named one of the most diverse cities in the world. The Greater Toronto Areas (GTA)’s ethnic diversity is synonymous with culinary diversity and an increasing demand for world foods. The GTA has been home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years and three hundred years of immigration to Ontario from all corners of the globe have created an environment of exchange that continuously alters the food and drink available in the region. Toronto continues to maintain its multicultural character while growing at a pace …

Cooperatives, Agri-Tourism And Food Trails: Promoting Sustainable Food Systems In Le Marche, Italy, Daniela Monaldi, Brigit Ramsingh

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The growing recognition of the environmental and health costs of the post-war industrial-production food model has led to urgent calls globally to transition to more sustainable food systems (Lang and Heaseman, 2004; Willet et al., 2019). Future fixes or ‘innovations’ that are disruptive to the current model of food production have been proposed to address the challenge of achieving such ‘Great Food Transformation’ (Willet et al., 2019, p.448). Such disruptions toward sustainability can include, for example, alternative food networks or short food supply chains, a turn (or return) to local food or ‘glocalism’, refocusing on small-scale farming, emphasising biodiversity and …

Thailand’S Tourist Cooking Schools: Disrupting Distance, Affirming Difference, Mary Beth Mills

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The growing popularity of culinary tourism inspires many travelers to view local cuisines as a way to connect to the people and places that they visit. Such cross-cultural encounters appeal in part because they offer to disrupt conventional commodity chains and their associated hierarchies, bringing together consumers and producers who would otherwise be separated by significant geographic distances and not infrequently by racial/ethnic, cultural, and/or classed inequalities. At the same time, however, transnational tourists’ relative ease of mobility is a form of global privilege that contrasts sharply with the more limited mobility and economic disadvantage characterizing many of the societies …

Culinary Change, Disruption, And Death: Do Traditional Cuisines Have A Future?, Anthony F. Buccini, Amy Dahlstrom

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

In recognition of a worldwide wave of extinction of minority languages and dialects, linguists are intensely engaged with the issue of language death. A related process of ‘cuisine death’ is also underway, likely on a similar scale to what is happening with languages. It is therefore striking that there is little discussion in food studies of cuisine death. In this paper, we discuss why the field, despite its awareness in a general way of the loss of specific foods and foodways, has failed to recognise the wholesale demise of traditional culinary systems. We situate this discussion within a typology of …

Plating Authenticity In The Eternal City, Karima Moyer-Nocchi

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

While culinary history is rife with disruptions driven by myriad factors, in this paper, derived from an in-progress article, I argue that the course of culinary evolution in Rome has been disrupted most recently by a fossilized dependence on gastrotourism, manifesting in what I term the “template menu” – an artificial construction intended to satisfy consumer demand for the authentic Roman gastronomic experience. While past research into culinary heritage tourism has emphasized the experiences and expectations of tourists and the preservation of traditions (World Tourism Organization, 2017; Richards, 2012, pp. 13-14) or more explicitly the efforts of destination marketing and …

Disrupting Culinary Education: Making A Case For A European Curriculum Framework For Culinary Higher Education, Sophie Dalton

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Culinary arts is a neglected social and life science, which has historically been treated as a hands-on discipline with little academic input. Over the past decade there has been an influx of research in the discipline, specifically in culinary education across the world. Culinary arts is often relegated to the tourism sector, which fails to take into account that the culinary arts permeate through society, economy, culture and politics. It is also commandeered by the health and wellness sector, which has a singular focus and does not take into account the breadth and richness of the discipline. The late twentieth …

Female Roles In Antiquity: The Dichotomy Between The Stage And The Page, Bella Biancone

Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium

The women portrayed in Greek drama were often strong, courageous, and integral to the storyline. In contrast to their real-life counterparts (who may have not even been allowed to see the plays), these women stood out as individuals in their respective stories. They are bold, dynamic, intelligent and respected. They are meant to be seen and heard. Women in drama emerge as heroines of their own stories and serve to educate the audience on some aspect of women in Greece. On other hand, the women of Homeric epics tended to be subdued and traditional; they are background characters, merely present …

The Transformation Of Tessie Hutchinson: A Character Analysis, Jillian Pitelka

COD Library Student Research and Award Symposium

The short story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, is not the ordinary lottery we are all used to today. In the beginning it may seem that way but, in the end, it turns into a sort a sacrifice. The main character in this short story is Mrs. Hutchinson (Tessie) and she shows no fear of this lottery like her neighbors do. In my paper, The Transformation of Tessie, I argue that Tessie does not take the lottery seriously until she has a chance as being chosen as the sacrifice. To defend my position, I used support from three literary critics …

Eveline’S Lack Of Love: An Analysis Of “Eveline”, Anna Crosby

COD Library Student Research and Award Symposium

This is a character analysis essay from my English 1101 class. Based off the short story "Eveline" by James Joyce, I analyzed the main character, Eveline. In my essay I argue that Eveline struggles with the fact that she is less interested in Frank, her fiancé, for love but for a way out of her domestic life at home. Throughout my essay I use different critic's opinions from their own analysis articles to help support and defend my thesis statement.

Using Design To Advocate For Transit Justice, Aneesha Solomon, Tanvi Muruges, Valerie Bravo

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

As a group of three design students from USF, we collaborated with SOMCAN to design a series of posters and stickers in support of their transit justice campaign. SOMCAN is a non-profit organization that provides services to help community members with common struggles such as evictions, searches for affordable housing, employment, childcare, discrimination, and most recently transit justice. The transit justice campaign is meant to bring awareness to the high cost of MUNI fares and the impact it has on communities who depend on it the most. We created a series 7 posters that each represented a variety of SF …

The Borders Between Us: Analyzing The United States’ Border Policies & Repercussions, Louise De Oliveira

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

This poster addresses the United States’ current southern border situation. It begins by analyzing the historical precedent for discrimination against immigrants to provide a background of understanding for the current situation. It then explains how this aided in President Trump’s election and his resolution to curb illegal immigration by reinforcing the southern border. It also analyzes the Trump Administration's zero-tolerance policy that led to family separation and the personal and political effects of the policy. Furthermore, the poster analyzes the executive order that attempted to end family separations. Finally, the poster examines the current state of border conditions and immigration …

My Teacher-Writer Identity, Kayla R. Ehlinger

KUCC -- Kutztown University Composition Conference

My project is my teacher-writer identity project, which started in my Teaching Writing Classroom. The goal of this project was to create a piece of media which gave an understanding of our identity as teachers and writers. My project took the form of a handout that would be used as a teaching material to help my students get to know me while also becoming comfortable with their own writing process. Using my own examples for how to interact with writing, my teacher-writer identity ultimately hopes to help my students become comfortable with themselves and their different approaches to writing.

You Don’T Need A Weatherman To Know Which Way The Wind Blows: The Prison Break Of Timothy Leary, Phoebe N. Holman

Young Historians Conference

This paper examines the revolutionary merit of the Weather Underground Organization’s prison break of LSD guru Timothy Leary. Was Leary truly an activist willing to risk everything to introduce the public to the healing powers of psychedelics? Or was he an unprofessional mad scientist using his students to further his own agenda? It also provides an explanation of how the WUO and other anti-war organizations like it brought the United States to the brink of a massive societal shift—and then disappeared.

The Creative Philosophies Of Leonardo Da Vinci: Nature As The Perfect Creator, Julia M. Swanson

Young Historians Conference

Leonardo da Vinci is highly regarded for his many contributions to the arts and sciences, though not much is known of his philosophical work. This paper focuses on his creative methodologies and their formation, as influenced by his Italian roots and the presence of Aristotlean philosophy within the Renaissance. The combination of philosophy and his environment produced unique naturalistic creativity.

A War Of Implicit Forces: The Algerian Revolution, Grace I. Graham

Young Historians Conference

The Algerian Revolution, Algeria’s fight against the colonial power of France epitomized the perseverance of the people’s voice. However, with few military battles won by the Algerians, against the resource rich France, how did Algeria ultimately become the victor? This paper explores the F.L.N.’s strategies in approaching the war and how France’s response to such tactics contributed to domestic and international sympathy for the Algerians’ cause, leading to the eventual liberation of Algeria.

Catherine De' Medici: The Crafting Of An Evil Legend, Lindsey J. Donohue

Young Historians Conference

Catherine de’ Medici is commonly known and referred to by historians as an “Evil queen”. This paper aims to examine how her reputation has been built upon legend and myth rather than fact. It explores how sixteenth century Europe’s overwhelming patriarchal prejudice and bias, along with an underlying presence of Xenophobia, has influenced the conclusion many historians have made about Medici. Rather, Catherine de’ Medici was a strategic ruler whose goal was to maintain peace at all cost during a religiously trying time. Through the commentary of a sixteenth century anonymous European writer, the paper aims to show that Medici …

Paradoxical Feminism: Attempts At Gender Equality In The French Revolution, Maggie E. Stanton

Young Historians Conference

As French society found itself swept into a frenzied pursuit of liberty, equality, and fraternity, French Revolutionaries ironically neglected to include all citizens in their so-called “inalienable rights of man.” Most notably, the newly formed French National Assembly forgot its women. As a result, female Revolutionaries fought not only for a more equitable political system, but also for the rights and liberties of women. Yet, feminists of the French Revolution faced a paradoxical dilemma. In attempting to publish political writings, form political clubs, and wield weapons against the monarchy, women were forced out of the domestic sphere, an action that …

Social, Scientific, Litigious: The Birth Of A Queer Americanism, Claire M. Fennell

Young Historians Conference

The queer rights movement is often assumed to have advanced because of the collateral benefit of other social rights movements occurring around the same time, in the 1950s and 60s. However, the inception of an organized queer rights movement did not happen in line with any progressive time in United States public thought. In reality, the movement began at a time when America was at its least forward-thinking, during the Cold War. It was not the times becoming more progressive, but rather the shift in the model of oppression the queer community faced which allowed for the advent of an …
