Judith Barr
Professor

"Food and Quality of Life"

From Judith Barr:
"We seek comfort and companionship with food (Paris Soirees Dinners as an example) and how food is so central to who we are and our quality of life. What happens when, as a result of some illness or other condition, we have to change what we eat? How does this affect our quality of life and how can we measure that change?

Colleagues and I at Northeastern University have conducted a number of focus groups with all types of individuals across the country. It would be great to briefly describe the role of food and our work in this field and get some international flavor on what others think"

Judith Barr is Associate Professor and Director, National Education and Research Center for Outcomes Assessment

Patricia writes about being an expat:

"...As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn’t matter who you are or of what origin you are. You’re either French (in your head and behaviour), or you’re not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French – but seeing life internationally – on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being a expat."

paris-soirees

Our Guests of Honor:

Katrina Neal
Designer from India
"What Is India To Me"

Katrina Neal was born in Hyderabad, the capital city of the Indian state of Andra Pradesh, a meeting point for North and South India, also considered to be the gateway of Southern India.It's also a place where Hindus and Muslims have co-existed peacefully for centuries. She emigrated to Malaysia with her parents when she was only four years old, grew up and studied there.

Beautiful little Katrina was a real Tomboy so her Father encouraged her to go into the field of modeling and grooming. In 1991, she moved back to India, continued her career in modeling and absorbed, as an adult, Indian culture. For Katrina, it was a new awakening. She was inspired by her Indian origins and eventually was more interested in designing clothes "rather than just wearing them." She learned the design business while in India: choosing fabrics, cutting and stitching and remains inspired by the culture and colours of India. She specializes in silk and embroideries.
