Fall 2021 – Spring 2022 Project
Latinx Foodways: Stories and Recipes Linking Social and Environmental Justice Project
The Fall 2021-Spring 2022 internship cohort is focused on the Latinx Foodways: Stories and Recipes Linking Social and Environmental Justice Project, which is an extension of the Climates of Inequality: Stories of Environmental Justice exhibition created in 2018 by the UIC Latino Cultural Center in partnership with the Humanities Action Lab (HAL).
The primary goal of Latinx Foodways oral history project is to collect stories and recipes from community members to tease out the relationship between environmental/climate justice with food traditions & cultural identity, land & food justice, im/migration, labor, health & COVID-19.
Using the recipes and stories collected, the LCC interns will focus on creating a Latinx Foodways Recipes & Stories book to present to our community partners, LVEJO and Alianza America, in Spring 2022.
