Wintertide Series | Handcrafted Bourbon: Authenticity in the Commercial Food System
Sunday 3/11
3:00PM – 4:30PM
Join Sierra Burnett Clark in a conversation about American bourbon. In her talk, Clark will hone in on ‘America’s native spirit,’ and the role of authenticity, craft, artisanship and national heritage-making in the commercial food system.
Sierra Burnett Clark is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University. Her work addresses the intersection of culture and commerce, specifically the tension between food as a commodity and its role as a marker of identity and distinction. Her dissertation analyzes the politics of quality and the meaning of heritage, craft, and innovation in the production and marketing of American whiskey. Sierra teaches courses at NYU on food and culture and contemporary food issues. She holds a B.A. from Brown University in International Relations and a degree from the French Culinary Institute, and she has worked as a research associate at the Council on Foreign Relations and as an editor at Saveur magazine.
