Recipes and Reciprocity: Building Relationships in Research considers the ways that food and research intersect for researchers, participants, and communities demonstrating how everyday acts around food preparation, consumption, and sharing can enable unexpected approaches to reciprocal research and fuel relationships across cultures, generations, spaces, and places.
