Join the Southern Foodways Alliance October 20-21 at the University of Mississippi in our hometown of Oxford, Mississippi. In 2023, we're mapping the South. Where is the South? How do we identify its edges? Can we mark its coordinates with bourbon, catfish, and birria? Can we map our present South onto the culinary and labor landscapes that preceded it? And what does the tendency to define space with borders tell us about ourselves?
SFA continues working to build an audience for our in-person events that represents the diversity of people living and working in the South, invests in vital futures for SFA and the region, and reflects the economic realities of the contemporary food and media industries. To that end, we’ve reserved a portion of Fall Symposium passes as full access “pay-as-you-can” tickets. A full access, full price ticket to the 2023 Southern Foodways Symposium is $750.
Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can afford a higher-priced ticket, you limit the access of those who need the financial flexibility. SFA’s sliding scale ticket model will help us grow a strong and sustainable Fall Symposium that welcomes all to the conversation.
Note that the $750 ticket is subsidized by generous contributions from our donors. Attendees able to pay more than $750 are helping others. Attendees who pay only what they can allow the SFA community to support them.
