Description

Decolonizing & Demystifying Careers in Food Research Career Panel Interested in a career in transforming food systems? Join the Berkeley Food Institute for a career panel focused on indigenous food systems research in the academic and non-profit sectors. Speakers will share stories of how they built their job paths and offer insights into current trends in the field. The event will be in a hybrid format, with a limited number of in-person tickets available, as well as a live Zoom option. Due to capacity and space limitations, in-person tickets will be restricted to 30 current UC Berkeley undergraduate and graduate students, while Zoom registrations are open to all. If spots remain, we will contact other interested attendees who'd like to attend in-person (please indicate interest on the order form if so). The panel will take place outdoors at the Berkeley Way West building. Adherence to the latest public health guidelines for Covid-19 will be strictly followed. Audience questions will be collected ahead of time via the registration form, and we will select several for our speakers. This event is being hosted in conjunction with the “Food Relatives: Decolonizing and Indigenizing the Global Food System” graduate student conference organized by the Food Institute Graduate Council (FIGC) at Berkeley from April 1-2. We highly encourage you to register for both events if you are interested in alternative and Indigenous food systems! Meet our speakers here!
