Linda Jane recently shared this definition with me:  deipnosophist - person skilled in dining and table-talk.  It was used in plural as the title of a work by Athenaeus (3rd Century) describing long discussions at a banquet.

We will be starting the Table Talk series with a discussion course from the Canadian Earth Institute (an affiliate of the Northwest Earth Institute in Portland).  Please join us as we discuss food and sustainability over six sessions of Menu for the Future.

Join us to:

  • Explore food systems and their impacts on culture, society and ecological systems
