Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n
You are invited to submit an abstract for a chapter in a new book on food and drink in Contemporary Paganism.\u00a0\u00a0 In this project, we will include an international and interdisciplinary selection of authors and subjects, embracing a variety of Contemporary Pagan traditions on a topic of fundamental human interest: eating and drinking.\u00a0 In keeping with editorial standards, chapter submissions must be academic in style and methodology, and engage whenever possible with ongoing academic dialogues.\u00a0 At the same time, given that the topic is food and drink, we would like to also suggest that all of the project\u2019s authors, in addition to the usual academic article, submit a recipe related to the topic of their chapter which will be included in the appendix of the book.\u00a0 A feast for the mind, and possibly for the palate and stomach as well!\u00a0 We hope that you will join us at the table.<\/p>\n
