MiFOOD partner at National College of Singapore and Asia Research study Institute arranges workshop on “Global Foodscapes: Transnational Pathways of Food and Movement In and Out of Asia”. This workshop is set up on March 10 – 11, 2025 It is collectively organized by the Asia Study Institute, National College of Singapore, and the College of North Carolina at Church Hill.
This workshop explores the detailed discussions, affiliations, and practices of global foodscapes by critically taking a look at the diverse intersections between migration and food. Focused on 3 interconnected styles– food security, climate/environmental influence on food and movement, and the personal, social, and cultural significance of food for travelers– the workshop adopts a multidisciplinary lens, incorporating sociology, geography, background, movie, literature, and sociology. This workshop looks for to understand worldwide and glocal foodscapes from the perspective of Asia, specifically in post-pandemic Asia which experiences all levels of food instability varying from worrying, significant, and moderate, to low. It seeks to discover to the varied ways in which travelers are ingrained within food production, circulation, and usage networks as they complete food security away from home. Anthropogenic environment adjustment and out-migration because of environment-induced food safety are critically discovered as well as new types of precarity and food instability for migrants at location occur. While some travelers and diasporics labour to complete food safety on their own and their families, another market of immigrants, diasporics and transnationals do class, culture, identity, and neighborhood via foodwork. Treatment a wide range of themes interconnected with movement and food (from concealed cravings to a lot more congratulatory cooking techniques), this workshop offers instructions to explore glocal Eastern foodscapes in/under movement as the optic for deliberations for far better understandings of migrant food protection, multidirectional flows in food production-supply-consumption chains, and multicultural foodways within, throughout, and with Asia.
