In conversation with Dr Jessica B. Harris

Dr Jessica B Harris will reflect on the use of food as a catalyst for social change, drawing distinctions between practice in the UK and US. She will also consider how food professionals can give voice to historically marginalised communities.

The leading authority on the food of the African Diaspora, and author of 17 books, including High on the Hog, which inspired the Netflix series of the same name, she is a James Beard Lifetime Achievement winner.
