About the book
Our inaugural event featured Professor Dandekar’s book Family Farms and Farm Buildings: Landscapes of the Heart and Mind, published in 2010 by the University of Michigan.
The author began with an informal talk about the book’s themes and her writing process, followed by conversation between the author and the invited respondents, and with other attendees.
