This talk explores the evolution of Adivasi food systems as a response to political, environmental, and economic changes. It centers on the voices of Adivasi people and their perspectives and reflections on food as culture, food as self-medication, food as sustenance, food as sustainability, and importantly, food as conversation with nature. The talk advocates for recognizing and valuing Indigenous knowledge to decolonize food systems and promote sustainability, cultural identity, and resilience amidst global challenges.

Her work led to the groundbreaking study of young victims and the impact of trauma on their growth and development, their families and communities. Burgess’ expertise led to a collaboration with the FBI’s newly created Behavioral Sciences Unit to study violent serial offenders, and the links between child abuse, juvenile delinquency, and subsequent perpetration. Her book A Killer by Design: Murderers, Mindhunters, and My Quest to Decipher the Criminal Mind chronicles this work. Dr. Burgess will share old cases with the audience during her talk.

The theme of this year’s symposium is "Beyond Thoughts and Prayers: Translating Gun Policy Science into Action to Reduce Firearm Violence." The symposium is free to attend, and registration is now open! Gun policy is currently viewed as a highly polarized, highly contentious issue. It is characterized as a zero-sum, winner-take-all game, as opposed to one where everyone benefits. However, there is more common ground on gun policy than people are led to believe, as well as ways to build on existing consensus to reach actionable solutions to gun violence. Featuring success stories at both the state and federal level, the symposium will explore how policymakers, academics, activists, and other stakeholders can help bridge the cultural and political divide to enact lasting and effective gun violence prevention policy. Together, we can change the contentious, overly simplistic way that gun policy is currently characterized in America.
