RC-40 Mailing List

RC-40 has a new electronic mailing list to further communication among research committee members and other colleagues who are interested in the sociology of agriculture and food. This is a moderated list and only members are allowed to send messages. We encourage members to share news about forthcoming conferences, recent publications on the sociology of agriculture and food (both their own and those of others), information sources, and funding opportunities.

To avoid heavy e-mail traffic the moderator will collate these messages and send periodic bulletins to list subscribers. We intend this mailing list to replace RC40's twice-annual newsletter (although printed bulletins will be mailed to those members who lack access to e-mail). Your commentaries and responses are most welcome.

To join the mailing list, send an e-mail message to: mtachi@mx.ibaraki.ac.jp
