How have modern wars reshaped the production, movement, and meaning of food? From rationing and humanitarian relief to scientific innovation, state control, and the weaponisation of hunger, food has long been central to the conduct and experience of war.
The organisers invite proposals for a two-day conference at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford (16–17 April 2026), exploring the political, social, legal, scientific, and logistical dimensions of food and nutrition in wartime.
✅ Papers may address themes such as:
• Technological and scientific innovations
• Bureaucratic and legal developments
• Feeding of civilian, combatant, and incarcerated populations
• Humanitarian logistics
• Civilian responses and survival strategies
• Food as a tool of coercion, control, or violence
• Colonial, civil, and asymmetric warfare
📨 Submit a title + abstract (≤300 words) to foodandwarconf@gmail.com
by 22 December 2025 (5pm UK).
Hosted by St Edmund Hall, Oxford. Supported by the International Society for First World War Studies and History & Policy.
