The fourth annual CSWS Northwest Women Writers Symposium \u201cOur Daily Bread: Women\u2019s Stories of Food and Resilience<\/a>,\u201d will be held Thursday May 7, 2015, through Saturday May 9, 2015. Diana Abu-Jaber (Crescent<\/em>; The Language of Baklava<\/em>; Birds of Paradise<\/em>) is the keynote author and will be joined by writers Novella Carpenter (Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer)<\/em>; scholar, activist, social justice novelist, editor Breeze Harper (Sistah Vegan<\/em>; Scars<\/em>); poet Donna Henderson (The Eddy Fence<\/em>), and others.<\/p>\n

This theme opens conversations about the sensuality of food; food and culture; food shortages; hunger and poverty; health and eating disorders; climate change; misuse of natural resources; environmental racism; food distribution; genetic manipulation of seeds; and preparation and growing of food. Food is our daily bread, but in the practice of writing, what else feeds us? \u201cOur Daily Bread\u201d is a rich theme that will open the door to fruitful discussions of craft, creativity, humanity, gender, and community.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by the UO Center for the Study of Women in Society. Cosponsors include Eugene Public Library; Oregon Humanities Center; UO Division of Equity and Inclusion; the UO Departments of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies, English, and Ethnic Studies; UO School of Journalism and Communication; University Health Center; UO Libraries; Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics; and the ASUO Women\u2019s Center.<\/p>\n
