The Dublin Gastronomy Symposium provides a forum for those interested in gastronomy research to come together, network and engage in academic discourse regarding “all things food”. While academic rigour is crucial for a successful outcome in an event such as this, the Symposium places equal emphasis on providing opportunities for interested gastronomes to interact with each other outside of formal presentations.

The Dublin Gastronomy Symposium interprets the word “Gastronomy” in its broadest sense to include the history of food and drink; domestic and professional cookery practice; societal impact of food and beverage; food and drink in literature, media and popular culture; food and wine studies pedagogy; local and national varieties of cuisines and food cultures. The study of gastronomy is uniquely multidisciplinary encompassing the arts, humanities, and the natural and social sciences, and all are welcome to attend this Symposium to dine, debate and interact with likeminded foodies.

The 2022 Dublin Gastronomy Symposium will be held on the new campus of TU Dublin in Grangegorman on Tuesday 31st May and Wednesday 1st June. The biennial conference welcomes international guests and speakers on this year’s theme of Food and Movement.
