Presentation at the BSA conference

I recently learned that my proposed paper for the British Sociological Association’s 2026 conference was accepted. The paper, titled ‘Schrödinger’s tomato: ontologies of food and waste’, presents some findings from my research at a catering business in Stockholm. It explores how food products such as tomatoes, seem to exist both as ‘food’ and ‘not food’: their categorisation as food, then waste, then food again, results from their temporary stabilisation as such across shifting material and discursive configurations. I look forward to presenting this research, and plan to develop it into a journal article during 2026. The BSA conference takes place at the University of Manchester on Wednesday 8 - Friday 10 April 2026
