Speakers: Susan Rottmann, Zeynep Yılmaz Hava, and Nour Zanjer, Food and Migration Research Team

For the Fall ‘24 semester, the Belonging Talks Series will explore the theme of “Food, Migration, and Belonging: Sustainable Practices for Integrated Communities.” Our speakers will present on the role of food and cooking in mobile homemaking and as contributing to sustainable and inclusive societies.

Susan Rottmann, Zeynep Yılmaz Hava, and Nour Zanjer, are scholars and researchers in Turkey, conducting research as part of the Food and Migration Project focusing on “migrant homemaking activities and specifically how food practices change and are involved in integration.” For their presentation with IBH, the team will be drawing from their new research article, “Culinary Sustainability as a Resilience Practice for Syrian Refugees Amidst Urban Precarity in Istanbul.”

Moderator: Cynthia Caron, Director of Graduate Studies and Associate Professor of Sustainability and Social Justice, Clark University
