Sheldon Museum of Art will present a conversation, “A Diverse Menu: Race, Gender, Class, and the Things We Eat,” at 6 p.m. Feb. 19 in the Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium.

Sheldon’s new exhibition “Table Manners: Art and Food” will serve as a starting point for the conversation about food and social structures. Admission is free to both the museum and the event.

The conversation will feature Ijeoma Oluo, author of “So You Want to Talk About Race,” and Soleil Ho, restaurant critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and producer of the podcast “Racist Sandwich.” Casey Kelly, associate professor of communications studies at Nebraska, will moderate the discussion.
