Methods of Investigating Food and Eating

Export to PDF

Abstract

Whereas there is a very large and productive community of research on food in France and French-speking countries, no book presenting the methods of studying food, eating and eaters has been published in French language. Such a methodological book lacks and would give to this research community, especially to its part that is based in Montpellier, a greater visibility.

Goal

The cycle of seminars MIAM aims at gathering a wide and mutidisciplinary range of specialists of different methdos in order to make a methodological manual, easily usable and covering the scope of contemporary methods used in sociology, anthropology, political sciences, economics, management sciences, marketing, consumers sciences and nutrition to study food, eating and eaters.
Organizers: Nicolas BRICAS (Chaire UNESCO Alimentation du Monde; Cirad, Moisa), Muriel FIGUIÉ (Cirad, Moisa), Tristan FOURNIER (CNRS, Iris), Olivier LEPILLER (Cirad, Moisa)
