The Cambridge Saffron project has had two radio appearances this week: Bonnie Lander Johnson shared stories about the historic role of Cambridge University in the global saffron trade, its medical recipes and it role in political and religious controversy – on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and TalkRADIO.
Kasia Boddy and Bonnie Lander Johnson have received a grant from the University’s Research & Collections Programme to examine the history of Cambridge’s involvement in saffron production and consumption, both locally and globally. The project will culminate in a workshop hosted by CRASSH in June 2022 and an online exhibition, hosted by the University Library.
