This looks really useful.
Do you like to eat ethical food? According to Shyon Baumann, Josée Johnston and I, you might be a high-status ethical foodie. Would love to hear feedback on our paper: Eating for Taste and Eating for Change: Ethical Consumption as a High-Status Practice academic.oup.com/sf/advance-art…

We just launched our call for sessions at #RGSIBG2019. For more information please consult with our website (foodgeographies.wordpress.com/2018/12/04/foo…) or @DrMikeHardman
Fancy running a foodie session at #RGSIBG19? Our @FoodGeog call for sponsored sessions is now open: foodgeographies.wordpress.com Drop me an email by the 7th Jan with proposals! #foodsecurity #gyo #sustainability
Ibrahim examines how ‘austerity food bloggers’ such as @BootstrapCook resist representations that pathologize or shame the urban poor by making their everyday experiences visible & shaming the powerful who are responsible for their position. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
In @CAFSfoodstudies, Martin examines low-income mothers’ foodwork. Explores how attempts to conform to middle-class constructions of the ‘good mother’ & ‘good consumer’ can contradict expectations of the ‘good participant’ in community food programmes. canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cfs/…
In @criticalsocpol & based on research with @TrussellTrust & @FareShareUK, @hlambiemumford examines how questions about food insecurity & food charity can challenge how contemporary social policy thinks about equality & wellbeing. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
Analysis by @MartinCaraher & @wellsrebecca of how UK press coverage of food banks, 1993-2014, did little to investigate the structural reasons for the rise of food banks, partly due to economic pressures within UK journalism. emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.110…
Analyses how the campaigning culinary TV documentary @HughFW’s War on Waste acts as a ‘pedagogical text’ that demonstrates the pleasures of adopting sustainable lifestyles & investigates corporate networks of waste. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
Listened to this earlier this week & it’s a lovely piece for anyone interested in food histories, gender & cooking.

Using Critical Discouse Analysis, Matwick (in @CritDiscStuds) shows how US cookbooks by @thepioneerwoman, @GDeLaurentiis & @inagarten present cooking as a way of caring for men/families & as a leisure acitivity that can empower women. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
@kitchens1ave & really refreshing to read one.
Methodologically innovative study by @kitchens1ave & Peter Jackson that uses rich ethnographic evidence to demonstrate how convenience often can be used as a form of care in food practices. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…
In @Gender_Journal, @DrJulieParsons uses auto/biographical methods to affirm the continuing relevance of DeVault’s findings on class, femininity & cooking, & shows how ‘healthy’ feeding practices are a way of doing middle-class mothering. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
Quantitative study by de Backer & Hudders that aims to measure the respective impact of educational & edutainment cookery shows on cooking practices. Any significant impact on behaviour is restricted to men. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Peter Jackson & Valerie Viehoff offer a critical review & synthesis of research on convenience food highlighting the moral ambiguity attached to the term. Argues for an approach that examines how ideas of convenience are embedded in everyday practices. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Young Danes, @bente_halkier shows, seek ‘convenient’ foods. ‘Conveniencization’ takes many forms, it is not just ‘convenience food’. Just because convenient food is normalized doesn’t mean it’s become socially acceptable. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
