CISS Introduces Food Research Working Group
The newly launched Food Research Working Group will bring together scholars and practitioners across the Boston area whose work engages with food’s many roles in society and culture. Starting in Fall 2022, The working group will facilitate inclusive collaborations and supports research through opportunities to discuss projects with others whose work relates to food. Monthly lunch meetings will enable faculty, postdocs, and graduate students to share information about works in progress, funding opportunities and events. The group’s aim is to support and promote each other’s research.
The group will be coordinated by Dr. Megan Elias (CISS affiliate and Director, Gastronomy Program, MET). For more information, contact Dr. Elias at mjelias@bu.edu and sign up the group’s mailing list here. BU will be host of the May 24-28, 2023 annual meetings of the Association for the Study of Food and Society; the working group will help scholars connect with one another even before the annual meeting!
