                                CALL FOR PAPERS

                        FOOD AND DRINK IN CONSUMER SOCIETIES

A conference at the Hagley Museum and Library, November 12, 1999

Food and drink have formed perennial, if at times exceptional, sources
of research and insight on cultural patterns in consumer societies. For
a conference on November 12, 1999, the Hagley Museum and Library
invites proposals for papers on the production, distribution, and use
of food and drink within market economies since 1850. We are especially
interested in essays which consider how food or drink studies can
influence our understanding of modern consumer societies, much as
material culture studies already have done. Sidney Mintz (Johns Hopkins
University) will deliver the conference's keynote address. Paper
proposals are due by April 1, 1999 and should include an abstract of no
more than 500 words and a brief c.v. Funds may be available to support
travel to the conference by speakers.  Please direct proposals and
queries to:

Dr. Roger Horowitz, Associate Director
Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society
