Critical Food Studies Network

The Critical Food Studies Network aims to connect researchers across disciplines interested in the study, history, and consumption of food within both metaphorical and material contexts. This group offers a unique opportunity to bridge research and form interdisciplinary connections along the fields of literature, history, anthropology, biology, and more across the University. The group will provide a space to hear from researchers who look at food from various perspectives including postgraduate students, faculty, and guest speakers. The group will also host regular book club meetings tailored to a theme.
