The lecture is open to the public and will be held in 222 Parkes Hall (Parkes is located on Chicago Avenue, just north of Clark Street on the east side of Chicago Ave. (The talk might be somewhat academic - I would have called it "Fear and Loathing at Big Orgo").

Professor Johnston is the author of the soon to be published Democracy and Distinction in the Gourmet Foodscape [I would have called it Foodies: Threat or Menace]. She is one of the leading foodways scholars in sociology.
