Brilliant evening celebrating #SouthAsianHeritageMonth at @Pitzhanger - bringing South Asia’s rich identity to life through dance, art and food. Grateful for a warm discussion with @migration_menu & Sohini Banerjee about food and identity and how it brings communities together.

Shahu Patole’s Dalit (mostly Mahar and Mang) cooking from Marathwada has set me thinking. There are at least 22,000 cuisines in India — that is the # of dialects reported in the census — which is linked to landscape. That gives us a sketch of the sociogeography of Indian food…

It has been so nice to hear such great feedback on Episode 5🎉 of The Migration Menu! - themigrationmenu.com/episode… I am addicted to the Acast Insights which let us know where the show is popular. On that note - big up our loyal listeners in Port Harcourt and Katsina, #Nigeria.

Just come across this new podcast series from @JamesStaples66 and @LAHeslop that weaves together colonial and migration scholarship with interviews with South Asian restaurateurs and food history. Well worth listening to (and not just because it refers to Ruling the World, honest!) Good way of getting free meals too? themigrationmenu.com/

So so sad to write this. RIP dear Jim. Prof James Scott was a brilliant engaged scholar, surprisingly consistent/persistent in analysis, who married pol science & ethnography in the best way, & who deeply influenced my own thinking/scholarship. Importantly, he was a kind person.
