Reframing the Food Desert Debate with Ken Kolb

What is a "food desert," and where do they come from? Why are some neighborhoods replete with artisanal bakeries, upscale cafes, and organic farmers' markets, while others lack even one good grocery store?

Furman sociology professor Ken Kolb will be discussing his new book "Retail Inequality: Reframing the Food Desert Debate," and applying the insights of his research to the specific forces that have shaped retail access here in our own community.
