Please join the Special Collections Research Center and the Sustainable Food Systems Initiative at 5:00pm on Thursday, March 12th in the Hatcher Gallery Event Space, for a screening of episode 4 of the documentary series The Price of Milk: The Kids Are Not Alright, followed by a panel discussion with Oatly Global VP of Sustainability Erin Augustine and Food Studies scholar Margot Finn.
"The Price of Milk" begins with an exploration of the “Got Milk?” advertising campaign that launched in the 1990s and moves outward to explore dairy as agriculture and as industry, government initiatives like the Dairy Checkoff program, changing American food preferences, and growing concerns about pollution and climate change.
A pop-up exhibit curated by Special Collections student assistant Sofia Schroth-Douma will be on display throughout the event, featuring historical dairy advertisements from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.
Light refreshments will be served, including both dairy & vegan hot cocoa.
