About This Journal
EJFDS invites submissions that challenge and stimulate debate across contemporary and historical issues relating to food and drink within society. The Journal seeks to critically examine food and drink and their contexts within and across traditional and emerging disciplines. Submissions are invited from those engaged in research across the domains that both impact on, and are impacted upon, by the meaning of food and drink within our lives. These domains include, but are not limited to, history, archaeology, cultural studies, tradition, hospitality and education. Academic papers are the mainstay of the Journal, however the hosting of the Journal on a digital platform allows the editors flexibility and authors the opportunity of exploring a variety of formats.
