My name is Stephanie Assmann and I'm based at Tohoku University,
Sendai, Japan as a lecturer. I am looking for participants to
organize a panel on Food/Food Culture in Asia for the Annual Meeting
of the Association for Asian Studies which will take place in Boston
from March 22 - 25, 2007. I am currently conducting medical research
on the topic of Slow Food in Japan. Papers that address food and food
culture in Asian countries either from a sociological/anthropological
angle or from a historical or philosophical point of view are very
welcome. Possible topics I could imagine are for example local food
cultures versus the emergence of globalizing food cultures, the
increasing popularity of Asian foods in countries outside Asia,
gender and/or social (in)equality in relation to food, food as
depicted in art and literature. These are just some broad ideas and I
am very open for other topics and suggestions. Anyone who is working
on Food/Food Culture in Asian countries and would be interested to
join this panel, please contact me at [log in to unmask] until 2
August 2006.
