A Real Corker: Anthropologist Corky White Dishes on Food!

<p>Our guest today is <a href="https://www.bu.edu/anthrop/profile/merry-white/">Corky White</a>, Professor of Anthropology at Boston University. Although her focus is on Japan, Corky has a deep and fascinating focus on food – both as an academic pursuit and as globe-trotting food lover. Today’s episode is just that. A global trot through Corky’s life, food, culture, and the impact of her own heritage on why food is so fascinating. Her newest book, written with her son, historian Ben Wurgaft, is "<a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520392984/ways-of-eating">Ways of Eating</a>." We’ll get to that too – and stay tuned to learn about her grandmother’s rolling pin! Let’s have a listen!</p><p>Photo courtesy of Corky White.</p><p><i>Let’s Talk About Food is Powered by </i><a href="http://simplecast.com/"><i>Simplecast</i></a><i>.</i></p>
