An image that contains a powerpoint preview of three slides from the talk: the first, a title slide with Claire's name and talk title; the second, a side-by-side of Breyer's French vanilla ice cream and Vanilla ice with the caption "How it Started" and "How It's Going"; and the third slide features a bucket of white paint alongside vanilla ice cream next to a copy of Ralph Ellison's book Invisible Man.

Got to take the show on the road (across the Charles) to Harvard last night! An audience member brought in Tanzanian vanilla for us all to smell and take away with us. A great complement to a discussion focusing on vanilla's larger abstraction as a racial signifier.

@clairebnschtn.bsky.social talking about “eating without eating” and the erotics of consumption through Jessica Simpson’s edible lotion. As a fellow White Girl Millennial, this presentation was funny and damning. So much to think about. #2024ASA

Long history of social control tied to starch in US history. Anglo settlers refusing to eat corn until they were starving and then killed for indigenous corn supplies. Tensions between cornbread and beaten biscuit eating in the south. Kellogg's corn flakes and Graham crackers. Dietics be crazy
