The Cherwell Food History Studentship
The Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery Trust is thrilled to announce the creation of this new food history grant for young scholars (under 30), which will include an immediate $1000 (US Dollar) award and a second payment, given at the Symposium, to cover the cost of fees for the weekend as well as transportation to and from Oxford.

This grant, made possible through a private, anonymous donation, is administered and run by the American Friends of the Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery. However, it is open to (and intended for) applicants of all nationalities and backgrounds as well as to independent researchers as much as full-time graduate students from any number of fields that lead them to pursue the study of food in a serious manner.

Formal proposals, including detailed plans for research, should be submitted to the American Friends by email sokolovr@gmail.com before Tuesday, 1 April 2008. The same document should be submitted to the Symposium editor in the traditional manner.

This year’s Symposium will be held at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford on 12—14 September 2008. The theme is VEGETABLES. Further information on the Symposium and Guidelines for Authors of 2008 Symposium Papers click here.
