Conference Presentations by Societies MDPI
Date: 17–19 June 2025
Location: Bristol, UK
MDPI will be an exhibitor at the First International Child and Family Conference. We welcome researchers from different backgrounds to visit and share their latest ideas.
The last few decades have witnessed enormous social, political, cultural, economic, and environmental transformations at local, national, and global levels.
These changes have encompassed all spheres, including those of the family. It is this intersection between recent societal transformations and family life—especially as they relate to childhoods and children’s lives—that the inaugural International Child and Family Conference, hosted by the University of Bristol (UK), seeks to explore.
The annual meeting of the American Sociological Association provides an opportunity for professionals involved in the scientific study of society to share knowledge and new directions in research and practice. Nearly 600 programmatic sessions are convened, providing a scholarly outlet for more than 3,000 research papers, over 4,500 presenters, and 5,000 attendees. Each year, the ASA’s President chooses a theme on which to focus some of the programming for the ASA Annual Meeting. President Adia M. Harvey Wingfield has chosen the theme “Reimagining the Future of Work”.

This workshop seeks to explore the evolving place of food anthropology within the broader anthropological discipline and to interrogate its potential contributions to shaping sustainable, equitable, and resilient food futures. We invite scholars to reflect on key questions: Where does food anthropology lie given the great challenges that the near future presents? What does it stand for? What research agendas must be advanced to make meaningful contributions to human development in an era of uncertainty and transformation? What novel approaches, tools, and frameworks are needed to study evolving food systems and cultures?
