Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator.

Episode 87

This episode features a conversation with Mexican anthropologist and PhD candidate Mario Macias Ayala @mario.maciasaa in which we discuss several intertwined projects that are at the core of his research:

-Return migration within Mexican-American dynamics: Mario unravels the intricate tapestry of return migration within the complex web of Mexican-American relationships.

-Cooperative Initiatives: empowering indigenous farmers and microbrewing: We explore the transformative role of cooperatives in facilitating reintegration and fostering entrepreneurship among indigenous farmers. Additionally, we delve into the growing microbrewing scene, initially a passion project, now a catalyst for unexpected collaborations and alliances within the communities Mario has encountered.

Join us as we navigate through these rich narratives that illuminate the profound connections between food, culture, and community.

There is a long and rich list of resources that Mario and I have put together for you which you can see here:
