Bibliography

As an interdisciplinary topic, scholarship on food and rhetoric often spans across different journals, conferences, and fields making it difficult to locate. This bibliography is a working-reading list for those interested in digging into food rhetorics. The goal of this reading list is to be inclusive to any writing useful for scholars, teachers, and students. This list will be particularly useful for graduate students creating exam lists focused on food studies.

 

Publications were collected from major disciplinary journals in rhetoric and composition using the keyterms: food, recipe, cook, eat, and foodways. Publications from interdisciplinary food studies journals were found by searching keyterms: rhetoric, composition, writing, cookbook, foodways, recipe, and texts. If there is a reading you recommend (including your own work!) you can add the reading via this googlesheet. 

This list is a work in progress. All titles link to the publication or an open-access copy of the text. If you lack institutional access, feel free to email a request for a copy of the publication.
