On Food and Being Human | How Are We to Eat? | Lisa Heldke | EP. 1 Food Series

Lisa Heldke is the Professor of Philosophy, Affiliated faculty in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, and Director in Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus College. She is committed to exploring the philosophical significance of food, a topic about which philosophers historically have had very little to say. She has published numerous articles, as well as four (authored or co-edited) books, including 'Exotic Appetites: Ruminations of a Food Adventurer' and 'Philosophers at Table: On Food and Being Human'. She is on the editorial board for The Encyclopedia of Food and Agriculture Ethics, published by Springer Publishing.
