Association conferences

Foundations, Evolutions, and Revolutions

We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Canadian Association for Food Studies Assembly will be hosted at George Brown College from June 2 - June 5, 2025 and will be delivered in conjunction with the Federation for Humanities & Social Sciences Congress (running May 30 to June 6, 2025). The broader theme of Congress, just announced, is “Reframing Togetherness.”

Monday June 2 will be dedicated to the pre-conference, which aims to dedicate time towards mentorship and support for new and emerging food studies scholars. In keeping with the CAFS conference theme of Foundations, Evolutions, and Revolutions we are planning a three-day arc of plenary events that brings to life these animating ideas. Our plenary on Day 1 (Tuesday June 3) will look back to the foundations and origins of food studies in Canada over the last 30 years. On Day 2 (Wednesday June 4), our plenary will look at the present issues, concerns, and priorities characterizing food studies scholarship, practice, and advocacy. On Day 3 (Thursday June 5), the plenary will look towards ongoing evolutions and revolutions in food studies as we move forward in shared yet diverse ways.
