Home cooked meals can evoke comfort, tradition, and sociality but its very absence can point to its commodification and politicization.

      • Coming of AgeComing of Age stories focus on characters’ seminal shifts and changes. These narratives take place within transitional periods where further realisation of self isn’t necessarily restricted to age. Definitions of maturity vary depending on the nature of change, but we can expect to explore the awkwardness, confusion, and discomfort that is inherent in seeking (or being thrust into) growth.

This coexistence can be analyzed through historical evolution, science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI), the impacts of neoliberalism, utopias, dystopias, current realities, and imagined futures.
