The professorship for History of East Central Europe and Russia in the Pre-modern Period would like to draw your attention to a CfP on a workshop organized by Prof. Dr. Julia Herzberg and Olga Trufanova.
The call for papers is addressed to historians, religious scholars, anthropologists, sociologists, and researchers in related disciplines.
Colonization and exploration of the non-European territories was an inherently bodily experience. Food and diet became central arguments to underscore and explain the physical and cultural differences between Europeans and indigenous people. The workshop aims to bring into dialogue scholars of colonialism and food focused on different regions of the world. The task is to enable exchange and development of methodologies and concepts of dietary cultural encounters in colonial/frontier settings.
To apply, please submit an abstract (300 words) and a short CV by 15 November 2022.
