Have you ever found yourself pondering over the semiotics and inter-texuality of grandma's chocolate chip cookies? Do you ever wonder origins of your ham sandwich? Are you hungry? Then come out to the second annual Symposium on Gender and Culture: "In the Kitchen." An afternoon of lectures, discussions, and even a communal meal, the symposium will explore the way food preparation and consumption constructs and informs our sense of sex, gender, race and class around the world.

SMFA affiliated artists, MFA students Jessica Borusky and Katrina Majkut, will be sharing their performance art pieces Subjective Semiotics of the Body and The Sexy and Sexist Layers of the Wedding Cake.

The Symposium on Gender and Culture is co-sponsored by Tufts' Women's Center the graduate student council and aims to explore contemporary social issues in terms of feminism and gender.  The series launched in 2010 with the topic "Lady Gaga's Bad Romance with Feminism." For schedule and more details, visit xxxx The symposium is open to all members of the Tufts community, regardless of gender.
