Ashanté M. Reese is an anthropologist and associate professor of African and African diaspora studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Weaving together food justice, geography, and care, she offers stories about the practices that sustain and free us. Gather is her latest book.
Reese is joined in conversation by University of Mississippi professor of anthropology and Southern Studies, Jodi Skipper.
Jodi Skipper’s research interests include African diaspora anthropology, historic sites management, historical archaeology, museum and heritage studies, and Southern Studies. More specifically, she explores how African American pasts are represented in the present.
