From cookbooks to social media, food television to food criticism, three scholars dissect the different ways gender is reflected back to us in different media forms, contextualised by the recent global phenomenon #MeToo. How can we be better? Why does it matter? What even is gender? This is an open discussion gender, media, power, and food.
