Below is a call for papers for a session on food. If you are interested, please contact Deborah Harris [dh57@txstate.edu].
From Deborah Harris:
I am organizing a session on "The Social Dimensions of Food" for the upcoming Southern Sociological Society meetings in New Orleans (21-24 March 2012).
Right now the session is pretty broadly defined, but I would like to highlight the contribution of applying a sociological approach to studying the current food system and relationships within this system. Issues of food consumption and health; the political economy of food; food and the environment; and the intersection of food with personal identities, such as race/class/gender/sexuality are all welcome, as well as additional topics.
If you would like to take part in the session, please email to dh57@txstate.edu the (1) paper title, (2) names, affiliations, and contact information for each author, and (3) an extended abstract between 450-550 words describing research questions, theoretical approach, and methods.
I need this information BEFORE Monday, October 10th in order to submit this information to SSS by the deadline.
Please forward this CFP to interested parties.
Thanks,
Deborah A. Harris
