Second International Conference on Food Studies
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Second International Conference on Food Studies
4-5 October 2012
Champaign, IL, United States
This conference will address contemporary food
challenges from interdisciplinary perspectives by
exploring new possibilities for sustainable food
production and human nutrition. The aim is to
consider the dimensions of a 'new green
revolution' that will meet our human needs in a
more effective, equitable and sustainable way in
the twenty-first century.
Members of this knowledge community include
academics, teachers, administrators, policy makers
and practitioners in food communities.
Contributions range from broad theoretical and
global policy explorations, to detailed studies of
specific human-physiological, nutritional and
social dynamics of food. Other topics are welcome,
and should focus on the food science in the areas
such as, but not limited to:
Health behavior and health education, nutrition,
agriculture, climate, culinary arts, marketing,
communications economics, sociology, anthropology,
geography, biology, medicine, public health and
pharmacology
Location: In 2012, The Food Studies Conference is
strategically held in Urbana-Champaign, home of
the land-grant University of Illinois and located
in the United States' agricultural heartland.
With access to resources related to cutting-edge
research, the full range of agricultural endeavors
from large agribusiness to urban farmers' markets,
and a strong base of community advocacy,
Urbana-Champaign represents an ideal location for
the Food Studies community to gather.
Proposals: We welcome presentation proposals which
range from broad explorations of theoretical,
methodological and policy questions, to proposals
which present finely grained evidence of the
connections of economics, public health,
government and community practices, sociological,
medical and educational perspectives of food in
our societies.
Presenters will have the option to submit to be
published in the refereed 'Food Studies: An
Interdisciplinary Journal.'
Proposals must be in English, include a title, a
20-30 word "Short Description" (thesis statement),
a 200-300 word "Long Description" (abstract), and
can be submitted electronically through our
website:
