Routledge International Handbook of Food Studies

The Routledge International Handbook of Food Studies will offer students, scholars and all those interested in food-related research a one stop easy-to-use reference guide introduced by the editor and including original articles by 50 leading food scholars from around the world.Each contributor will cover food within either a traditional discipline, interdisciplinary study or research on a specific theme. Each article will include a brief history of food research within a discipline or on a particular topic, a discussion of research methodologies and ideological/ theoretical positions, resources for research including archives, grants and fellowship opportunities as well as suggestions for further study. Each entry will also explain the logistics of succeeding as a student and professional in food studies.This handbook will appeal both to those hoping to start a career in academic food studies as well as those hoping to shift their research to a food related project. Since by nature food studies are interdisciplinary, this work will also address ways academics within traditional disciplines may borrow from the methodological approaches of sister disciplines.
