Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne: Bakery Tourism: Pastry, Pilgrimage and the Psychology of the Queue

Would you cross a state border for a croissant? Or hike through mud for a brioche bun? Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne joins JOY Drive to unpack the irresistible rise of bakery tourism, a delicious new trend that’s part foodie fandom, part social ritual and part spiritual quest. From Instagram-worthy puff pastry to the sociology of the breadline, this chat explores what our obsession with baked goods says about us and why that paper bag might be doing more emotional heavy lifting than we think.

Guest: Lauren Rosewarne, Associate Professor in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne

Presenter: Warren Andrew
