 stronomic Culture\n\nIhor Lylo\nRESCHEDULED TO: MON APR 15\, 7:00 PM\nHall
  Center Conference Hall (also online at www.crowdcast.io/c/lylo)\n\nIhor L
 ylo is a historian whose research focuses on the cultural significance and
  influence of Eastern European gastronomic traditions\, particularly on Uk
 rainian cuisine. In this talk\, Lylo argues that traditional gastronomic p
 ractices of social and religious groups play a crucial role in shaping col
 lective memory. This poses a danger to totalitarian regimes that use food 
 and supply security as a tool of terror or political propaganda.\n\nArtifi
 cial famines or even threats of their use remain in the memory of oppresse
 d societies and have real consequences for the social behavior of citizens
 . At the same time\, there are fears that the desire of postcolonial count
 ries to use food traditions in building a new identity may lead to the str
 engthening of “gastronomic nationalism.” The discussion about the bala
 nce between these issues is an excellent opportunity to reflect on whether
  we are what we eat.\n\nLylo graduated with a Ph.D. at the Ivan Franko Nat
 ional University in Lviv (Ukraine) and was a visiting professor at Jagiell
 onian University (Krakow\, Poland) and at the University of California in 
 San Diego as a Fulbright Fellow and member of the Scholar at Risk Program.
  Lylo began working in January as a visiting assistant professor at the Un
 iversity of Kansas.
