Film Screening
Documentary film screening: November 16 Wednesday, 6:30 PM (doors open at 6:15), Kimmel Center (60 Washington Square South) Room 905/907
Neither Here Nor There - When Home is no where. And everywhere.
"Neither Here Nor There" is a 35 minute documentary that explores cultural identity for people who have grown up in places other than their home culture, known as Third Culture Kids. Through the stories of six subjects, the film investigates the often overlooked effects on adults who had international upbringings, their struggles to fit in and an eternal search to belong.
The film is also a self-exploratory journey for the filmmaker, a Japanese-British raised bicultural and in an international school system, who now lives in New York. In her last year of college, she attempts to figure out what she is in the context of the world.
For a teaser video, please visit its website: http://www.

Food Event, Monday October 24
Who Grows Your Food? Meet the Next Generation of Farmers
Monday, October 24, 2011
07:00 PM
Kimmel Center for University Life - Eisner & Lubin Auditorium
60 Washington Square South
On October 24th, National Food Day, the NYU Food Studies community and the NYU Sustainability Task Force welcomes you to join them for a panel discussion.
People of all ages and varied backgrounds are reinventing themselves with a return to the land. For both organic and conventional farmers, the diverse reasons for choosing this track tends to coalesce around themes of environmental sustainability and reconnecting to the food we eat.
The assembled panel of beginning farmers living and working in New York State will provide insight into the motivations and realities of this seizing of the fields. This event will facilitate a timely conversation about the existing state of farming, addressing the reasons behind choosing to farm as an occupation and why farmers decide to utilize the various agricultural techniques that they do.
Welcome Notes by Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health
Keynote by Gus Jones, farm manager of Snag Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens Heritage Farm in Staten Island
Moderated by Beth Weitzman, Vice Dean of The Steinhardt School of Education, Culture, and Human Development
