The Oxford Symposium on Food on Cookery is the premier English conference on this topic, gathering academics, food professionals, writers and food enthusiasts from around the world to discuss contributions on a single agreed topic. In 2015 the topic was communication and Symposiasts considered food as an area of control and resistance in totalitarian societies; struggles between activists, corporations and bureaucracies over food labels; the use of food and cookery to explore the past and the exotic; digital media, the sounds of eating and selling food; and, as Brillat-Savarin predicted, the role of food in constructing and communicating aspects of individual and collective identity.
