The British Library Conference Centre, London, UK
Following the success of last year's event, the aim of this 3rd conference is to further examine the role of food in contemporary society. Using a sociological lens, the conference will both examine empirical questions raised by the relation of food to social and intergenerational inequalities and explore theoretical issues of food as an item of consumption, cultural symbol and commodity.
The global economic retrenchment and ever-present environmental concerns, including climate change, have critical implications for food systems and eating practices. How do these intersect with other foci of sociological concern, such as nation, post-colonialism, gender, social order, inequalities, wellbeing and public health? How are individuals, communities and politicians responding to these crises? How are social scientists conceptualising and addressing these issues? What (more) is to be done?
Academics, practitioners, policy makers and other research users are encouraged to come together to explore these themes over 2 days.
