Abstract
You Are What You Ate was a British public engagement project funded by the
Wellcome Trust between 2010 and 2014. It was a collaboration between the
University of Leeds, the University of Bradford and Wakefield Council, especially
its museums, schools and libraries, which aimed to use medieval food as a way
to encourage reflection about modern food and lifestyle. The innovative project
ran three exhibitions in Wakefield and Pontefract, a mobile exhibition, numerous
schools and youth workshops, and a series of market stalls and osteology workshops
for adults and children in the Yorkshire region. This article provides an overview
of the project’s aims, activities, outcomes, including an analysis of how to evaluate
them, and its legacy.
