About the Conference

Food, the basic amenity of all living beings, is steadily being perceived from multiple cultural and ideological perspectives, which leads to the broadening of its theoretical concerns as well as its praxis. With the transforming curriculum modifications put forward by NEP for encouraging cross-cultural enquiries, interdisciplinary research, and multidisciplinary collaborations, cutting- edge research in food studies would lead to more rigorous academic deliberations on both the sociocultural significance of culinary studies and the politics of the everyday. The national conference looks at the interstices of the culinary, culinary heritage, culinary spaces, food fads, utensils, and culinary images with culture, literature, gender, anthropology, visual media, and the digital world.
