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.

She received her BA from Harvard College and her PhD in Psychology from the University of Michigan. Dr. Settles taught at Michigan State University for 15 years in the Department of Psychology. Using an interdisciplinary, intersectional framework, her research focuses on two related processes: the experiences, perceptions, and consequences of unfair treatment directed at devalued social group members, especially Black people and women; and protective factors and coping strategies used by members of devalued social groups to counteract experiences of mistreatment, especially those protective factors related to group identity (e.g., racial identity). Two major research projects she is currently working on are an examination of the experiences of faculty of color in academia and the role of diversity in interdisciplinary team dynamics.
