Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery

The Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery is set to take place at St Catherine's College, Oxford, United Kingdom, from July 10 to July 12, 2026. The theme for the 2026 event is 'Poverty Food,' inspired by Oliver Twist's poignant plea, 'Please, Sir, I want some more.' This theme invites a broad interpretation of poverty, encompassing the lack of essential resources necessary for thriving, and encourages proposals that explore the multifaceted ways poverty influences food choices, consumption patterns, and dietary practices across various times and cultures.
