It has been a busy year for LPD in the realm of Gastrodiplomacy.

The Spring was spent writing a chapter on Gastrodiplomacy for the upcoming Routledge Handbook on Public Diplomacy (Eds. Cull & Snow) which will be released in 2019.

Over the Summer, LPD participated in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) R&D Salon on Gastrodiplomacy, with remarks submitted via video.

To end out the year, LPD was featured on a Quartz News video piece on Gastrodiplomacy.

Into the New Year, LPD has been invited to speak on Gastrodiplomacy at a conference in Istanbul on the gastro-economy in Spring 2019.
