Sydney, Australia and Zoom 25-26 September 2025

PopCRN (the Popular Culture Network) will be holding a free conference in Sydney and online exploring representations of food in popular cultures in history and today, on 25 and 26 September 2025.

Delicious, Nutritious and Fictitious: Food in Popular Culture is asymposium that aims to interrogate the ways that food, recipes, cooking, eating and nutrition are evident in popular culture. This may be representations of food in television, film, literature, art, music, as text, narrative, discourse or any other scholarly form or genre.

We are currently seeking contributions from the humanities and social sciences for a scientific network that explores ephemerality in both its material forms and theoretical conceptualizations. This interdisciplinary network aims to bring into dialogue various questions about ephemerality, specifically examining how different fleeting forms of expression are implicated in the continual making and unmaking of proximities, both human and non-human, producing “a matter of temporary intensities and pacts amongst people” and other entities (Vélez-Serna, 14).

Boy Not There is a newly established fellowship, advocating for collaboration between scholars and lived-experience advocates regarding sexual violence against men and boys.

We aim to amplify voices that confront the challenges of male sexual violence, reckoning with social stigmas that often become barriers to disclosure. We work with survivors, researchers, educators and professional clinicians to create supportive frameworks for histories to be shared and eventually overcome.

Food and Foodways is an interdisciplinary journal, and we're expanding our coverage of book reviews in the months ahead. If you are interested in writing a review of an interdisciplinary food studies book published in recent years, we invite you to express interest by contacting our new collective of book review editors at FandFbookreviews@gmail.com

Please include the author and title of the book, its publisher and publication date, and your credentials for writing this review. Additionally, if you would like to suggest a book for consideration, we welcome your recommendations.
