    *Keynote speaker*Prof. Josée Johnston, University of Toronto


    Food features as a powerful cultural signifier, often evoking
    associations with issues of gender, class, race and power.
    Food-related activities, such as grocery shopping, meal preparation,
    and eating, along with the public and private spaces in which these
    activities occur, provide the basis for many of our complex daily
    communicative practices. Food is also located at the core of some of
    the most challenging social issues of our time, often manifested in
    oppressive relations of inequality, and in the placement of food at
    the center of calls for social justice. Today, cumulative
    food-related crises and controversies have become central to ongoing
    attempts to address the health of the global population and the planet.
