[Commlist] CFP for the International Seminar Visual Framing of Food Technologies

Call for papers – EXTENDED DEADLINE –

International Seminar Visual Framing of Food Technologies

Wageningen University & Research (Netherlands), 16-18 October 2019

In the age of post truth, scientifically informed visualizations and 
imaginaries of innovative food technologies are hard to distinguish from 
the production of art, or even ‘alternative facts’. These visuals travel 
easily across administrative borders through internet platforms (e.g. 
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube), affecting both online and 
offline social, political, policy and regulatory practices. 
Visualization and visual framing play an important – but often neglected 
– role in affecting actor relations, and the space to deal with 
innovations in food production and consumption.

To encourage international transdisciplinary collaborations and 
cross-pollination of ideas and methods, the Department of Social 
Sciences of Wageningen University and Research organizes the first 
“International Seminar on Visual Framing of Food Technologies” on 16th 
until the 18th of October, 2019.

The seminar consists of a roundtable and three keynote lectures by Prof. 
Huub Dijstelbloem; Dr. Kelly Clancy, and Prof. Sabine Niederer. Next to 
that, we organize paper panels for which we invite you to send an abstract.

Topics for the paper-sessions include (but are not limited to): (1) 
data-visualization of food and food (processing) technologies; (2) 
Visual framing analysis of food (processing technologies) on Internet 
and social media platforms; (3) Traveling of facts, fiction and ‘myths’ 
on the internet, in social media; (4) Trust and communication of science 
through visualizations.

Please send your abstract (500 words max.), title, along with your 
affiliation and contact information to (eduardo.rojaspadilla /at/ wur.nl) by 
20th August, 2019. Review and acceptance of papers can be expected by 
10th September, 2019.

This seminar is organized by Dr. Tamara Metze, Eduardo Rojas-Padilla; 
Dr. Elaine Rabello, and Efrat Gommeh (Public Administration and Policy), 
Dr. Jasper de Vries (Strategic Communication) and Prof. Dr. Karin 
Schroen (Food Processes Engineering), and supported by the Department of 
Social Sciences of Wageningen University and Research (WUR) Excellence 
grant.
