About the Roundtable

How does literature respond to and grapple with the issues of poverty and hunger? How might our theology equip us to address food inequity? Join the 19CRS for an interdisciplinary panel discussion exploring the intersections of food, theology, and literature from the nineteenth century to our contemporary moment and from around the globe to right here in Waco.
