On the 16th and 17th November 2023 HOST-members Robin Rose Southard and Dennis De Vriese, in cooperation with Nicolas Brunmayr (ULB), are organizing Food, Rules and the City, an international conference on food market regulation in the long term held on the VUB and ULB campuses. Combining a wide chronological scope (15th-20th century) with a Europe-wide geographical focus, the conference seeks to explore how different societies in different historical urban contexts tackled highly similar challenges in regulating the urban market for food. Applications (including a title and 200 word abstract) can be sent to brusselsfoodconference2023@gmail.com. Deadline: 15 April 2023. More information on via this link or @FoodRulesCity on Twitter.
