This talk examines Wole Soyinka’s memoir <i>You Must Set Forth at Dawn</i> as autofiction and auto-theory, examining three interrelated thematic modalities and aesthetic executions in the text: Soyinka’s narrative modelling of the social body as a sensorium
of common feeling through formal narrative features; his use of an optative elegiac mode within a post-national circum-Atlantic world as a gesture of mourning and rearrangement; and his use of border dialogues to intimate emerging collectives and the global
dimensions of the historical transformations affecting Nigeria.<br>

The kitchen has long been a site of both nourishment and defiance—a space where survival, culture, and activism converge. This talk explores how food serves as a powerful tool of resistance, from the resourceful cooking of enslaved and oppressed peoples to
the current and impending food injustice movements that call to questions folks understandings of a tariff and bird flu. Blending activism, and personal storytelling, Radical Recipes highlights the ways in which marginalized communities have used food to preserve
identity, sustain resistance, and build collective power.</div>
