The Power of the Dining Table

In this new episode, School of International Service professor Johanna Mendelson Forman and University of Milan professor Andrea Borghini join Big World to discuss the power of the dining table.

Mendelson Forman, who teaches and researches culinary diplomacy and social gastronomy, and Borghini, an expert in food philosophy, begin our conversation by discussing the symbolism of the dining table and its role in trust building (1:58). Mendelson Forman and Borghini also examine how issues like social justice and identity intersect at the dining table (9:45).

How does the dining table function as a proxy for different types of behavior (19:42)? In a world of conflict, what does it mean to gather around the dining table (26:29)? Forman and Borghini answer these questions and evaluate the dynamics of power and peace at play around the dining table (26:51).
