[Commlist] Food Matters and Materialities: Critical Understandings of Food Cultures Conference

Thu Sep 09 22:51:49 GMT 2021





We would like to invite you to the *Food Matters and Materialities: Critical Understandings of Food Cultures Conference *set to happen online, from Sept. 22-25.

/Food Matters and Materialities/is an international and multidisciplinary conference that explores, from a critical perspective, how power relations take form in contemporary food cultures. We discuss how these power relationships materialize in particular food matters/materialities and in a wide range of food-related practices such as production, harvesting, circulation, preparation, control, and consumption. With over 80 presenters & discussants, artists, community practitioners & activists and extraordinary keynotes, the Conference is meant to offer space for discussion, reflections, and inspire cultural change.

In addition to a list of fascinating papers <https://carleton.ca/foodmatters/paper-abstracts/>, presenters <https://carleton.ca/foodmatters/conference-participants/>, and chairs/discussants <https://carleton.ca/foodmatters/chair-discussants/>, here are a few highlights of this Conference:
