Location of Event:
Every month, hear from a Harvard Food Literacy Project alum who is working in the food industry today! Learn more about how their interests in food became careers. These virtual coffee conversations are intended to be a fun, informal way to get to know an alum working in food and ask them your burning questions.
This month, we’re thrilled to welcome Theresa McCulla, ’04, ’12, who is a Curator at the Smithsonian Institution. Theresa is a historian of the 19th and 20th centuries in the United States. Her scholarship investigates how Americans have used material and visual culture to define race, ethnicity, and gender, especially in the realm of food and drink.
As the curator of the American Brewing History Initiative, Theresa collects objects, documents, and oral histories from the talented women and men who make the American brewing industry the most creative in the world.
The Initiative is the first national-scale, scholarly effort to collect the histories of homebrewing and craft beer in the 20th- and 21st-century United States.
