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

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
