The Philosophy of Food
We are what we eat–sure, but what does this really mean? How is it that the same food comes to have multiple meanings depending on who, where, when or how it is consumed? And how is it that specific dietary decisions mirror (if not ground) the identity of a person or a community, showcasing fundamental ethical, social and political commitments?
By Andrea Borghini, associate professor of philosophy
Mindful Eating
Mary Elise McGrail ’16 participated in Professor Andrea Borghini’s “Philosophy of Food” Maymester course in Tuscany twice, once as a student and a second time as a mentor. The experience changed how she approaches a meal.

Small Plates
Our alumni work and explore their passions in the food industry in diverse, discerning and delicious ways. “Tapas” are varied and flavorful small plates or dishes, and, much like sampling multiple dishes at a tapas restaurant, we wanted to highlight as many of these alumni as possible. The plates may be small, but their stories are anything but. Savor a taste of their worlds.
By Rev. William Campbell, S.J. ’87, Lynn Cody, Meghan Donnelly ’15, Meredith Fidrocki, Maura Sullivan Hill, Rebecca Smith ’99 and Kimberly Staley ’99
