Call for Papers

'FOOD IN ZONES OF CONFLICT'

32^nd ICAF Conference, 19-21 August 2011, The Hague (Netherlands)

_
_

The International Commission on the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition 
(ICAF) and the Modern East Asia Research Centre (MEARC) at Leiden 
University invite proposals for papers exploring the theme of food, diet 
and food problems in places suffering conflicts in any geographic area 
of the world, regarding both the present day and the past. Possible 
topics might include (but should not be limited to) food security in 
conflict affected areas, food aid and special nutritional needs of 
people in refugee camps, long-term consequences of warfare on food and 
diet, food as a weapon of choice in war, as well as geographic, ethnic 
and religious factors involved in access to food in times of conflict.

We aim for this event to be truly _cross-disciplinary_ and hope that the 
theme will attract social, cultural, biological and nutritional 
anthropologists, as well as archaeologists, historians, 
agriculturalists, sociologists, dietitians, geographers, representatives 
of aid agencies and others.

The conference will be hosted by Leiden University College The Hague 
(www.lucthehague.nl <http://www.lucthehague.nl>), and will be organised 
jointly by ICAF and MEARC. See the websites of ICAF (www.icafood.eu) and 
MEARC (www.mearc.eu) for more information about these organisations.
