Call for Papers: BSPS Annual Conference 2022, 5-7 September 2022

The British Society for Population Studies (BSPS) is inviting submissions of proposals for presentations and posters for this in-person conference. Abstracts for papers and posters across the entire demographic and population studies spectrum are welcomed.

Lancaster University, UK led by Dr. Jasmine Fledderjohann is organizing a strand on food in(security) and food systems. The team invites submissions for this strand.

Short details about the session Food systems & food (in)security:

This strand explores food systems and food insecurity. Food insecurity is associated with a range of negative outcomes across the life course, with serious implications for health, well-being, and economic development. The highest rates of food insecurity globally are found in the Global South--a situation in which climate change will continue to exacerbate in the coming years. Moreover, Covid-19 has cast a light on the instability of food systems and has contributed to growing food insecurity globally. Proposals focused on the Global South, global food systems, and comparative perspectives would be particularly welcomed. Specific sessions could include food Insecurity, food systems, and Covid-19; modeling food insecurity: data and methods; determinants and consequences of food insecurity across the life course; food insecurity, inequalities, and social policy. For any query, please contact to: Strand organizer: Dr. Jasmine Fledderjohann (Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Social Work, Lancaster University, UK) – j.fledderjohann@lancaster.ac.uk; website: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/sociology/people/jasmine-fledderjohann

The submission deadline for all abstract submissions: 24th April 2022
