Shiloh Maples: Seeds of Sovereignty

February 4, 2025

Launched in 2017, Food Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course at the University of Michigan supported by the Sustainable Food Systems Initiative, School for Environment & Sustainability, Program in the Environment, and CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund. From January to April 2025, Food Literacy for All features guest speakers each Tuesday evening (6:30-8 PM EST) to address the challenges and opportunities of diverse food systems. The 2025 course is organized around the theme “Food and Care.” The course is co-facilitated by Dr. Bénédicte Boisseron (the course Faculty Instructor and UM Professor and Chair of Afroamerican & African Studies), Shiloh Maples (the course Community Co-Instructor and an Anishinaabe community organizer, seed keeper, and storyteller), and Sami Maldonado (the Course Coordinator and graduate student in the School for Environment & Sustainability), with support too from Lesli Hoey (Co-Director of the UM Transformative Food Systems Fellowship).
