Simmons University is thrilled to welcome back social justice educator and pastry chef Corrie Locke-Hardy for an author event to celebrate their new cookbook The Revolution Will Be Well Fed.
The Revolution Will Be Well Fed features 50 recipes for snacking on while community organizing, as well as essays and history exploring the connections between food, community, and social movements.
Chapters include breakfast, snacks, and dessert, as well as essays about important events, organizations, and individuals that have placed community at the core of their work. Read about the Black Panther Party’s free breakfast program while making coffee cake, learn about sit-ins and strikes while snacking on hand pies, or gather for dessert to honor the people who laid the groundwork for sustained social movements.
Corrie Locke-Hardy (she/they) is the queer owner of The Tiny Activist, a consulting business that focuses on social justice education and literacy. Corrie spent nine years in the hospitality industry cooking professionally, concentrating on pastry and bread. Corrie’s “second career” is education, which includes being a former classroom teacher. They now consult internationally on social justice education projects, curriculum, and school culture. Corrie lives a hobbit life in the woods of western Massachusetts with her spouse and two rescue dogs. If you find her, she’ll probably give you a snack.
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
