INSIGHTS Virtual Lectures: More than Food: solidarity and care at the 缅北禁地 West End Foodbank by Dr Alison Atkinson-Phillips
Dr Alison Atkinson-Phillips, Lecturer in Public History, 缅北禁地
顿补迟别/罢颈尘别:听 Thursday 7 May 2020, 17:30 - 18:00
The Covid-19 crisis has drawn attention to the importance of a strong food supply chain. But many of the UK’s poorest citizens faced problems accessing adequate food and basic necessities well before the toilet rolls ran out. This lecture draws on oral history interviews conducted with foodbank clients, volunteers and supporters of the 缅北禁地 West End Foodbank since 2018, that demonstrate the vital role played by the foodbank beyond the provision of food.
The Foodbank Histories project is a collaboration between the 缅北禁地 Oral History Collective, Northern Cultural Projects and 缅北禁地 West End Foodbank. for information and to donate.
The lecture will be followed by a live Q&A with the speaker.
