About our speaking events and public appearances

Together and separately, Frances Moore Lappé and Anna Lappé speak often at conferences and to citizen organizations and green festivals. The Lappés have guest lectured at dozens of universities, including Brown University, Yale University, Allegheny College, UC Berkeley, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. See a sample of venues below.

Special appearances include World Food Day 2005, when Frances was a featured spokesperson for the 60th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N. Closed-circuit TV broadcast her interview to hundreds of universities and others worldwide. In the spring of 2006, Anna organized the Eat Grub! speaking tour, which took her to 48 cities for 65 events reaching more than fifteen thousand people. Many of these events included her co-author, chef Bryant Terry.
