Culinaria: Documenting, Preserving, Studying the World's Culinary Diversity
Culinaria was a University of Toronto Scarborough initiative bringing together students and faculty in partnerships with community organizations and other institutions. It was initiated by the Culinaria Research Centre, which was interested in the cross-disciplinary engagement with the meaning, practice, and ongoing evolution of global cuisine. This site was the Centre's Digital Research Projects page.
The projects on this site provided new insights into some of the major questions of the field of food studies: The place of food in cultural identity and expression; the relationship between food, diaspora, and inter-ethnic/inter-cultural contact in Canada and beyond; commodity production and labours, from slavery to the age of empire to the present-day; the links between food systems, health, gender, and family.
