- internet food sub-cultures
- personal experience of food practices within a North-American culture of excess, processed food, fast food, and a global food market.
All academic approaches welcome (Communication, Discourse, Rhetoric, etc.) but the editor requests that the text be readable by a well-informed general audience rather than academic experts in the field.
Please send completed piece as MSWord document attached to your email to bridgetcowlishaw@gmail.com by June 6, 2011.
