RICE &... Series

The Pitt Global Hub and University Center for International Studies Engagement Team present RICE &..., a series on dishes from around the world that use the staple starch of rice, shown through an educational and DIY lens. Using food as a way to connect and have conversations, RICE &... events share the cultures, histories, and traditions of different regions and touch on topics such as migration and assimilation. Please see the schedule of events below. Recordings of the events will also be available on this page.
