Join us for an appetizing exploration of why menus matter and the stories they tell us today. These mindful meanderings will showcase some of the intriguing menus in McGill's menu collection. We will come to menus belatedly, after the dishes have been washed up, so to speak. In her exploration of ways in which menus matter, Prof. Nathalie Cooke keeps at least two audiences in mind: diners of the menus' moment and we who look at menus from distances spanning years, even continents and linguistic divides.

ONLINE: McGill24: Menu Matters - Wednesday, March 13, 2024, 12 PM to 1 PM EDT.
