The table unites and divides: It connects those who get to sit around it and excludes those who have not been invited. In recent decades we have witnessed the rise of gastronativism, the ideological use of food to determine who belongs and who doesn't in a community. This event will take place on Thursday, October 12, at 12 noon–1 p.m. in the Curtis Hall Multipurpose Room.

Come enjoy some ice cream, Halloween arts and crafts, and good conversation. The event will take place in the Dowling Hall Milmore Room at 1:30–3:30 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Come join TCU and TUSC on the Academic Quad on Friday, October 13, at 2–5 p.m. for a student art fair and farmer's market! All undergraduate students are welcome to participate in this event. Students and external vendors (including a coffee stand, tamale truck, and sustainable products shop) will be selling their products. Subsidized produce from New Entry Farm will be available also, and tickets are available on Tufts Tickets for purchase.

Join the Office for Campus Life, Student Life, Athletics, and TCU Senate on Saturday, October 14, at 4:30 p.m. on J Field for the Jumbo Block Party!
