Life is Gouda

If Life is Gouda... Why are we talking about cheese?

Cheese production is about something larger than whether you throw a good cheese party or not. 

It’s larger than whether a single cheese shop in your trendy neighbourhood stays open or closes. 

Cheese is a multi-billion dollar industry that ties together networks of people across the world. It is a commodity that sustains us, and makes us into certain kinds of people: someone who likes Kraft Singles, or gruyere. 

It's just one moment in a larger and growing world of critical food studies, in which scholars across the world understand food as a larger production of culture and identity.

 
Please join us as Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill sits down with Professor Ken MacDonald––a founding member of the Culinaria Research Centre, Toronto’s new hub for food studies.
