DESCRIPTION:In a global context of exchange of ideas\, people 
 and commodities\, women played a crucial role in t
 he multilateral ways of assimilation and adaptatio
 n of new food commodities and tastes across the ea
 rly modern world. The relation between gender and 
 food has been mainly categorized as masculine/publ
 ic/skilled and feminine/domestic/unskilled\, but l
 ittle attention is given to the wide range of food
 -related labour performed by women inside and outs
 ide the household\, such aspreserving\, brewing\, 
 baking and cheese-making.\n\nThis interdisciplinar
 y conference brings into dialogue diverse geograph
 ies\, disciplines and approaches to reflect on the
  gender dimension of food and cooking in the cruci
 al period of the early globalisation. We will look
  closely at the ‘making process’\, as a highly gen
 dered and embodied experience and as a form of pro
 duction and transmission of ideas\, skills and ide
 ntities. Building on recent scholarship on ‘making
  and knowing’\, we consider ‘making food’ as a fra
 mework to build cross-cultural stories of food and
  gender and\, thereby\, contribute to the growing 
 field of food studies.\n\nThe conference brings to
 gether international scholars from history\, anthr
 opology\, archaeology\, material culture and gende
 r studies to further develop interdisciplinary app
 roaches and experimental methodologies for the stu
 dy of food in the past.\n\nFull programme and regi
