Are you interested in food, gentrification, sustainability, and social justice?

Join us for a conversation with Pascale Joassart-Marcelli as she discusses her recent book. Pascale Joassart-Marcelli is a Professor of Geography and Director of the Urban Studies and Food Studies programs at San Diego State University. The $16 Taco sheds light on the larger process of gentrification and the displacement of immigrants and people of color by documenting their contributions to the cultural food economy and everyday struggles to reclaim ethnic foodscapes and lead flourishing and hunger-free lives.
