Μeals constituted vital components of everyday practice, formed domestic and community spaces, and contributed to the development of social ties by bringing people together in small scale quotidian or large scale feasting activities.

Discussion chaired by Jan Sienkiewicz and Rafael Laoutari.

The group will be trying out a new format for this session. A series of debate-style opening statements will be used to generate the discussion.

There are no suggested readings to consider in advance of this meeting; just turn up and we shall see where the conversation leads.
