Consuming National Identity". It is one in a series of seminars

are held every fortnight. This seminar will be held in auditorium N315
(Tallinn University Nova building) on Wednesday, 27 March from
18:00-20:00.Abstract:Food culture today is regarded with special interest.
What we eat, in many ways, defines who we are. Seemingly insignificant
culinary choices in everyday life shape a national cuisine. What is
Estonian cuisine, and how has it emerged today? By examining the roots of
Estonian cuisine in peasant traditions, as well as culinary culture from
1919-1939, the first period of Estonian independence, this lecture aims to
shed light on an emerging national identity as seen from the plate.Further
information about the event is available on Facebook.After having worked as
a cook in Toronto and Florence, Kristina Lupp has changed careers in order
to see the other side of the food world outside the kitchen. Combining her
passion for travel, food, and writing, Kristina has completed her Master of
Arts in Gastronomy at the University of Adelaide. Her thesis entitled
“Food and Everyday Life in Estonia 1918-1989” explored the effects of
the Soviet period on Estonian eating habits. Kristina is currently residing
in Tallinn where she works as a freelance writer and translator.Kristina
Lupp is a Toronto native with an Estonian background. She has had the good
fortune of living in many countries, including South Africa, Australia and
Italy. Kristina writes a blog at http://kristinalupp.com/.The series of
seminars "Inimkond/Humankind - Current Issues in Anthropology and Beyond"
features speakers from anthropology and related fields, and fosters
discussion of their research with an interdisciplinary audience. It aims to
contribute to the culture of academic scholarship and debate at Tallinn
University. Speakers include local researchers as well as guests from a
variety of background disciplines including those with different
interpretations of anthropological theory and methodology. Presentations in
the seminar series will be of particular interest to staff and students in
