NEW ESSAY COMPETITION for all SOAS MA Anthropology of Food alumni!

To help bridge the gap between academic and popular writing on food, the SOAS Food Studies Centre and Vittles magazine are partnering to run an essay competition in 2026 exclusively for alumni of the Centre’s MA Anthropology of Food.

Too often, academic research into the social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of food remains within the academy and does not reach a wider audience. At the same time, popular food publications are increasingly addressing these topics, indicating that readers want more than recipes and restaurant reviews. This competition helps bring academic food studies into popular food writing.

Vittles is an online and print food and culture magazine based in the UK and India. The author of the winning essay will receive editorial feedback and mentorship from a Vittles editor to get their piece ready for publication, and on publication will be paid Vittles’ regular author fee, approximately £800.

Save the date! Our Alumni Network Reunion will be on Saturday 11th April 2026.

We’re really looking forward to gathering at SOAS for a day of talks, workshops, and catching up. This event is primarily an alumni reunion for our former MA Anthropology of Food and PhD students, and research associates, but we’ll also be making a number of tickets available to associate members and friends of the Centre who’d like to join us.

More information, including what to expect on the day, tickets and how to register will follow soon...
