Event description:
The Social Innovation Initiative (SII) at the Jackson School of Global Affairs will host a presentation by Tagan Engel, a food justice advocate, community organizer, and the creative force behind The Table Underground, a podcast that explores the intersections of food, race, and social justice. Her work demonstrates the importance of redistributing power and incorporating local voices when addressing global issues like food security and environmental justice.
The talk is part of the SII fall speaker series, “Innovating Locally for Global Challenges,” which brings together entrepreneurial leaders from the New Haven community who demonstrate how local innovation can impactfully tackle complex social issues on a broader scale. Join us as we delve into their journeys in systems change and the global implications of their work through a TED-style talk followed by Q&A discussion.
The event is open to the Yale community. Registration is required; register here.
Please reach out to SII Fellows Sarah Pieslak (sarah.pieslak@yale.edu) or Tiff Jiang (tiff.jiang@yale.edu) with any questions.
