NEMLA 2025------PHILADELPHIA, PA------MARCH 6-9, 2025

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Taking this year’s theme, (R)evolution, into consideration it seems only fitting to discuss food. The idea of food or food-ways as the subject of evolution or revolution leads us to consider the transformation of culinary history, identity, production, and consumption within or between the Italian and Italian-American (or Italo-Australian, Italo-Canadian, Italo-British, Italo-Hispanic) contexts.
