In recent years, we have seen a rise in food studies as both an academic focus and a popular interest but what is food studies exactly? Why is examining food important to scholarship and to our everyday lives? What can looking at food tell us about society, culture, history and politics? FOOD + STUDIES demystifies the discipline and helps us understand its value to us all.
