We are pleased to share with you the call for papers for an international conference organized by the CIMEOS laboratory in partnership with the ICA (International Communication Association), which will take place from May 23 to 25, 2024 at the University of Burgundy in Dijon. The theme of this conference, entitled “Food Communication”, is food in the broadest sense of the term, and its aim is to examine food-related issues from a communication perspective.

Dijon, FRANCE (in-person conference)

Presentation

The Regional ICA Conference to be held in May 2024 in Dijon welcomes scholars from all over the worldworking on food-related issues from a Communication Sciences perspective.

The ICA "Food Communication” regional conference offers opportunities for engagement with scholars, students and public intellectuals from around the continent to debate these important and topical issues. The following types of proposal are encouraged: communications, thematic panels, posters (especially by the young scholars).  

The conference will be held in person and is open to everyone, but scholars who wish to present their works need to submit an extended abstract (400-600 words) that will be double-peer reviewed.

In the future, an Interest Group Food and Communication could be created participating to the development of research in that area for ICA.

Submission guidelines

Following the ICA tradition, multiple methodologies are valued and works conducted from a wide range of paradigmatic perspectives are encouraged. The goal for extended abstracts is to present and discuss current research about food communication and should adhere to the following guidelines:

• Extended abstract should be between 400-600 words (excluding references, tables & figures), and should clearly state the contribution of the work to food communication.
• Research data should already be collected. Abstracts need to present some preliminary analyses to provide a first review of results.
• Theoretical or methodological extended abstracts are also acceptable; authors should lay out the main arguments to be developed.
• Work should be unpublished and not presented at other conferences.

Please upload a single de-identified PDF file of your paper (including tables, figures, and references) to: https://icafood2024.sciencesconf.org/

by the deadline November 15th, 2023.

To submit an abstract each author must create an account on the website.
