A network for those interested in the history of nutrition and related fields. This network is intended for the growing number of scholars, teachers, documentary filmmakers, and museum and library professionals engaged with the history of nutrition in any time period or region.
Hi,
I run a 3rd year history course on "The Hungry World" at Swansea University (UK). I have an American studies student who wants to write an essay on New Deal policies on hunger and malnutrition. I have pointed them to work by Andrew Ruis, Janet Poppendieck, and Michael Grey, but would very much appreciate further recommendations, especially work that gives a general overview of government policy.
Many thanks
Michael Bresalier
If you are anything like me, you probably spend part of your "not-work" time reading things that look suspiciously like work...namely the proliferation of sites and articles online dedicated to the fascinating nexus of food, nutrition, history, identity, and politics. Here are a few links that I have collected over the last month.

This short-term research fellowship may be of interest to you or someone you know.
