Book launch: Food and the self

This event has already taken place.

Wednesday 23 October 2013

The Centre for Cultural Diversity and Wellbeing at Victoria University and Bloomsbury Publishing invite you to the launch of Food and the Self: Consumption, Production and Material Culture by Isabelle de Solier.

Isabelle de Solier is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Cultural Diversity and Wellbeing (CCDW), VU. Her book explores theoretical questions around the material culture of food, particularly for those for whom food is central to their self: 'foodies.' It examines what foodies do, and why they do it, through an in-depth study of their lived experiences. This book is ideal for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the meaning of food in modern life.

The book is to be launched by Andy Dawson, Professor of Anthropology and Developmental studies at the University of Melbourne. 

The event will be hosted by Michele Grossman, Professor at CCDW, VU.
