Famine Studies Conference 2026

We are pleased to announce a 2026 Famine Studies Conference that will be hosted online by the University of Bath and Wageningen University in December 2026.  We invite submissions that explore the broad conference theme of the ‘The Politics of Famine’.

A £60 participation fee applies to all participants to help meet organisational and technical costs. Limited free or subsidized spaces are available upon request based on financial needs.  Priority for these spaces will be given to scholars from contexts where famine is or has recently occurred.

If you have any queries, please email famine-studies-conf@bath.ac.uk

The Conference will run between 2^nd and 4^th December 2026.  Sessions will be daily from 10:00 - 11:30 and 16:00 - 17:30 BST.

Please note, only one delegate allowed per booking.
