On Thursday 21 May, we had the delight of attending a panel event at the Australian National Maritime Museum, to hear from Dr Madeline Shanahan, Dr Jacqui Newling, Dr Tim Owen and Dr Nick Pitt, as they explored the different ways food practices are deeply connected to community, identity, and cultural life.

Pulling from their research and chapters in "Archaeologies of Food in Australia", the panel critically discussed diet, cookery, dining and food culture. The talk was wonderfully insightful, and was met with excitement and engagement from those in attendance. Thank you to everyone who came along!
