Beyond Biscuits and Bacon: Food and Southern Media

We seek 250-word abstracts engaging critical food studies to investigate how foodways, defined broadly, shape constructs of southern identity in media, examining how such representations might be read as emancipatory, intersectional, essentializing, oppressive, or otherwise.

Deadline for submissions: Friday, March 20, 2026
