Gilmore is Professor in Folklore and Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she focuses on foodways and cultural landscapes. Pacific Northwestern, western Great Lakes, and upper Mississippi River fishing people, maritime workers, folk artists, and farming people led her to publish, present, and contribute to exhibits and festivals that relate to the regions’ foodways and food landscapes—indigenous, old immigrant, and new immigrant. Personal interests in food, cooking, and cookbooks, inspired early in her western Oregon home, have now come full circle as she explores her mother’s and grandmother’s Pacific Northwestern-Upper Midwestern food legacies.
