I had a great time talking about Florida food history at the Florida Conference of Historians. Wonderful to share a panel with Peggy & Leslie at UCF.

Miami: A Food Biography
I am excited to announce that I just signed a book contract for a book about Miami food. It means an opportunity to study some of my favorite Florida food editors – Jane Nickerson, Jeanne Voltz & Virginia Heffington. The book proposal was based on the lectures I gave at Rollins College this past summer. It will be my Spring-Summer 2016 project with a few trips to Miami along the way.

I was thrilled to see that the Gainesville Sun included my talk in the list of things to do in Gainesville. I loved my time at the Matheson. There was a good crowd and several great questions. Here is a great column about my talk.

Florida Historical Society: Florida Feminist Roxcy Bolton
I am excited to present a paper about Florida feminist Roxcy Bolton this weekend at the 2015 Florida Historical Society’s Annual Meeting in St. Augustine. Roxcy was a good friend of Marie Anderson, the longtime and award-winning women’s page editor of the Miami Herald. Here is my blog post about Roxcy for Ms Magazine & here is my blog post for We’re History.
