Wintertide Series | Heritage and Territory: Cultivating a Regional American Terroir
Sunday 3/4
3:00PM – 4:30PM
Join Dr. Kathryn DeMaster in a conversation that considers the role of place-based food production in countering the damaging effects of industrial agriculture. DeMaster’s talk will explore opportunities for U.S-based food producers to develop regional American ‘terroir’ that moves beyond the limitations of culinary interests and begins to create shifts in agricultural policy and culture. The talk is suitable for producers and food enthusiasts alike.
Dr. Kathryn DeMaster is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Center for Environmental Studies at Brown University, where her scholarship explores the intersections of the environment and society. Her primary focus is agriculture and includes explorations of alternative agro-food systems, organic farming, and global agriculture. Kathryn completed her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her current work explores the applicability of EU-style “multifunctional” initiatives in New England, and she is particularly interested in the relationship between culture and agriculture.
