Javeria Masood discussed how food acts as a lens to understand identity, community, and societal hierarchies. Through ethnographic examples, she demonstrated how what we eat, how we prepare it, and who controls it reflects broader patterns of power and resistance.
The session encouraged students to critically examine the social and political dimensions of everyday practices. By connecting food to memory, culture, and agency, Masood inspired students to explore innovative, reflective approaches to research and community engagement.
