Speakers:

Prof Bryce Evans (Liverpool Hope University): Bryce Evans is Professor of Modern World History at Liverpool Hope University and has a special interest in the history of food. His new book, Feeding the People in Wartime Britain, examines the positive impact of nation-wide communal dining schemes. He is active in the contemporary public feeding space and has submitted policy briefings for the Food Foundation on Community Restaurants.

Ian Byrne MP (Member of Parliament for Liverpool West Derby): Ian Byrne has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool West Derby since the 2019 general election. In 2020, Byrne launched a campaign for the Right to Food to be written into UK law. Ian was named as "Overall MP of the Year" for 2021 by the Patchwork Foundation, in recognition of his campaigning against food insecurity.

This event will look back to historical precedents and ahead to the future of food to explore the benefits of reimagining public canteens in the UK. Bryce and Ian propose a new canteen culture can feed people sustainably, at-scale: reviving the high street and showcasing government and corporate partnerships. The seminar closes with thoughts on what research, organisational and policy developments might facilitate this transformation.

Thanks,

Dr. Jordon Lazell, University of Essex
