The presentation will take place Wednesday, March 15, at 1 p.m., at the main branch of the library in the Bromley Room. This event is sponsored by Oregon Humanities and is part of the nonprofit group’s statewide “Conversation Project.” Oregonians love the wild beauty of our 363 miles of coastline, but finding truly COURTESY PHOTO Jennifer Burns Bright local seafood can be hard, even on the coast. The United States imports approximately 90 per- cent of its seafood and ships out nearly as much to the glob- al market. Why aren’t we eating more local seafood, now that pre- serving and distribution tech- nologies are the most sophisti- cated they have ever been? These questions are the focus of “Fish Tales,” the free conversation with Bright, a food and travel writer based in Port Orford, Ore. She recently retired from teaching at the University of Oregon, where she researched desire in 20-century literature, led a faculty research group in the emerging discipline of food studies, and won a national pedagogy award for a team- taught, interdisciplinary class on bread. She holds a PhD from the University of California at Irvine and a Master Food Preserver certification. Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging con- versations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future.
