With our contributors and guests, we will explore innovative food map-making approaches that empower communities and connect them to the city and place through food. We contend that geography and anthropology intertwine in urban cartography as they extend approaches to space, storytelling, place-making, power and engagement. And we contend that the ultimate aim of food mapping is to instigate change in urban design and planning.
Our contributors come from all over the world broadly covering the themes of * mapping in food cultures, histories and a sense of home/place; * interconnecting people, food systems and economies; * food cartographies of change and conflict; and * mapping land use and place making for food.
We will present and discuss in three different sessions:
2 sessions on Wednesday 16th afternoon, 1 session on Thursday 17th afternoon.
For those who have not registered yet as a participant, feel free to do it now.
Conference registration will allow you to enjoy the entire conference which runs from Monday 14th to Friday 18th September and comprises more than 50 panels as well as plenary sessions and a keynote by Bruno Latour.
