AILA-ReN: Linguistics of food. |
Welcome to the Research Network on the Linguistics of Food, hosted by the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée / International Association of Applied Linguistics.
Latest news: Virtual launch of the ReN: June 2018!
We held a virtual launch of the AILA ReN on the "Linguistics of Food" on June 15th, 2018.
For those of you who are interested in joining the Research Network on the "Linguistics of Food", and weren't able to participate in the virtual launch, please confirm by emailing us a few sentences about your interest in the "Linguistics of Food."
This Research Network provides a space for researchers from interdisciplinary backgrounds to develop collaborative research within the linguistics of food. Building on an increasing global interest in food and eating studies, the network enables a focus on the cultural and social interactional issues around food, incorporating all forms of applied linguistic research. The aims of the network are to make more visible the diversity of linguistics research on food and to provide an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural meeting point for researchers in food and language studies.
The activities of the ReN will very much depend on the interests and input of the members. AILA’s only requirement is that the group organize a symposium at the upcoming World Congress in Groningen, The Netherlands (August 9-14, 2020). For now, we decided to propose bi-annual video-conferences for members to meet globally. Our Google+ community can be used for written introductions and to announce new research proposals or publications pertaining to language and food.
With our best regards,
Nele Gerhardt (Saarland University, Germany)
Polly Szatrowski (University of Minnesota, USA)
Sally Wiggins (University of Linköping, Sweden)
