IASACT 2025 Application

IASACT 2025, with the theme on “Framing Foodscapes in Asia: Patterns, Problems and Prospects” will be held from June 20 to July 19, 2025 in Hong Kong.

IASACT 2025 invites scholars to critically explore the topic of foodscapes in Asia – meaning the spaces, linkages, and activities, with their attendant patterns, problems and prospects – from the production to the consumption of food in Asian contexts. While we offer a menu of the following themes that traverse the areas of food safety, security, sovereignty, and social and spiritual sensibilities for your consideration, we are also open to other creative ideas that are flavoured with interdisciplinary and intersectional possibilities.

Notes to applicants:
1. Priority will be given to emerging scholars of Asian descent who:
