Did you know 90% of H-Net’s revenue comes from job posters paying to post their jobs to our Job Guide? Recent cuts to funding in higher education in the U.S. and resulting hiring freezes are affecting H-Net too. If these trends continue, we will be unable to sustain all the services H-Net offers. If every H-Net member donated just $4.75, we could fund H-Net for one year. Click here to help us continue the vital work of fostering international open knowledge production.

If we imagine cities as purely human-built, unnatural places where agricultural products are never grown and only shipped in and consumed, it suggests that the central questions of urban food are about food security, transportation and distribution, and food supply mechanisms. But the place of food and agriculture in cities is not that straightforward. When we look at food rather than agriculture, we end up seeing far beyond the questions of what we eat and where we get it from. Food is linked to many areas, from policy to urban and peri-urban farming; from disaster planning to tourism and hospitality; from land-use to culture. Food connects centre and periphery, the global and the local. What is the place of agriculture and food supply in cities? How do cities shape food supply and vice versa? How has living in cities shaped people’s relationship with food and the meaning urban people make with their meals? For this workshop, we will think across time, regions, and disciplines to consider critically the relationship of urban people and food and also think about how these practices have shaped our urban relationships with food today.    Topics of interest may include (but are certainly not limited to): Interdisciplinary approaches to urban food, supply, and security. Linkages across the urban and the rural, local and global. Workers and the work of food production at any point in the value chain, from farms and oceans to home and restaurant kitchens. The production of material and cultural linkages between cities and hinterlands through food production, sales, and consumption. Migration and identity formation through food practices. Infrastructures and technologies of agriculture, food and water distribution, food production, cooking, and eating. Tourism, hospitality, and the food and beverage industries. Food and food packaging waste. Urban agriculture.     Please submit a short proposal (100-200 words) by 1 December 2025 Contact Information Fiona Williamson  Contact Email fwill...@smu.edu.sg Read more or reply Repost Back to top CFP Public Health Humanities: tools for learning and practice Janet Weston We invite proposals for contributions to a new ‘toolkit’ (or textbook) for learning and practice in the field of public health humanities.
