While many books examine southern food, Consuming Identity focuses on the role food plays in building identities and the messages food sends about who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we see others. Learn more about why we are what we eat at Personally Speaking on Sept. 26. A book signing and reception will follow the presentation. Parking information will be sent a few days before the event to those who register. Registration is required.

Price: Free, but registration required.
