This interdisciplinary workshop brings together philosophers, bioethicists, social scientists, and food scholars to explore how field philosophy and empirical methods can enrich the study of food. Participants will examine ways philosophical analysis can contribute to food studies, including critical reflection on normative assumptions and conceptual frameworks. The workshop will also investigate how empirical approaches—such as ethnography, interviews, and participatory research—can disrupt and transform stable concepts and ideas. A key focus will be on the tensions and overlaps between theoretical analysis and empirical methodologies, considering how different schools of thought have embraced or resisted empirical engagement. Through collaborative dialogue the workshop aims to foster methodological innovation and deepen understanding of field philosophy and food as a site of ethical, political, and epistemic inquiry.
