Food Matters: A Sociological Case Study of Food and Eating Across the Life Course in York c. 1945-2010
What, where, when and with whom we eat have changed in recent history. Researchers in SATSU (Department of Sociology) at the University of York are conducting a research project that explores such changes. It examines how people's ideas about food and eating alter throughout their lives and in relation to local, regional and national trends. The overall aim is to gain an understanding of eating practices in the English city of York from the Second World War to the present day.
The research is funded by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) which is an independent organisation, established by Royal Charter in 1963. The ESRC is primarily funded by the government and funds research on economic and social issues.
