Vernissage: Friday, September 29,\u00a06\u20138 pm at the Osler Library of the History of Medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to “The Gendered Cultures of Beer and Cheese: the Regulation of Human and Microbial Bodies on the Home and Industrial Scales.\u201d This exhibition, comprised of medical texts, cookbooks, training manuals, and industry documents, showcases the ways in which advice about best fermentation practices has changed over time. As you visit the exhibition, we hope you will consider the following questions: How is the language employed around ideas of public health, food, and alcohol production gendered and classed? Are ideas about “what is safe” and “what is dangerous” regarding fermentation practices restricted to scientific understanding? To what degree are these ideas socially embedded concepts?<\/p>\n

The materials for this exhibit come from McGill University\u2019s Osler Library of the History of Medicine; Rare Books and Special Collections; the Schulich Library of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering; the MacDonald Campus Library; the Blackader-Lauterman Collection of Architecture and Art; and the private collection of Alex Ketchum.<\/p>\n

This exhibit has been made possible by the generous support of McGill University\u2019s Faculty of Medicine; the Institute of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies; the Department of History and Classical Studies; the Department of English; and the Office of the Vice Principal\u2019s Research and Innovation Grant.<\/p>\n

We are pleased to offer this exhibit as part of this fall\u2019s conference, \u201cLeavening the Conversation: Food, Feminism, and Fermentation.\u201d The event will be taking place on McGill\u2019s campus from September 29 to October 1st.<\/strong>\u00a0In addition to the above sponsors, the larger event is also sponsored by Le R\u00e9seau qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois en \u00e9tudes f\u00e9ministes of L’Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, Concordia University\u2019s Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Concordia University\u2019s Centre for Sensory Studies, and the University of Alabama\u2019s Department of Gender and Race Studies.<\/p>\n
