Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World

Acknowledgments

vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Earlier versions of the chapters in this volume were presented at an international workshop on “Ethical Foods and Food Movements in Postsocialist Settings,” co-organized by the editors and held on May 11–13, 2011, at the Food Studies Centre, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. The project has benefited greatly from the many insightful and constructive interventions made by the workshop discussants: Peter Jackson, PeterLuetchford,RuthMandel,MarinaMarouda,SusanPattie,HansSteinmuller , and Harry West. The editors wish also to thank all of the workshop presentersfortheircontributions,includingthosewhosepapersdonotappear as chapters in the volume: Katy Fox, Zsuzsa Gille, Petr Jehlicka, Nadezhda Savova, and Joe Smith. The workshop was funded by generous grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Award BCS-1101655, and the SOAS Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of London. We would like to express our special gratitude to Deborah Winslow, the Cultural Anthropology Program Officer at NSF, whose support from the inception of the project has been instrumental. During the editing process we have been fortunate to benefit from the support and wise suggestions made by our reviewers, who have identified themselves as Elizabeth Cullen Dunn and James L. Watson, and by Kate Marshall, our patient and generous editor at the University of California Press. Finally, we thank our families for their unflagging support without which this project and collaboration would not have been possible. Yuson Jung, Jakob A. Klein, and Melissa L.
