 LOAS
II 2013
co-Chairs will be Pam and Ross Cole
This 50th
LOAS II Conference will focus on the transformative importance of
pleasure in our lives – in what we eat, in our bodies, and
intellectual pursuits.
The Theme Speaker for LOAS II,
2013 will be Dr. John Coveney of Australia
We went ˝ way around
the world to find Dr. John Coveney, professor at the School of Medicine
at  Flinders University in Australia. Dr. Coveney has focused on
pleasure in his research and its implications in society. He will
present ideas and observations about our complex relationship with food,
eating, sensual pleasures and happiness. Using our current
fascination with health and nutrition, his work explores how our food
zeitgeist stems from social, political and religious problems in Western
history, how our current obsession with body size has evolved over time
from the ancient Greeks' preoccupation with eating to early Christianity
and the conflict between the pleasures of the flesh and spirituality.
Dr. Coveney will explore how scientific development in eighteenth and
nineteenth century Europe has affected our current knowledge of food and
the social organization of food in the modern home.
