Where are all the Anthropologists?

As an anthropologist planning a conference, most the grants for which I can apply are in anthropology.  However, these conference and workshop grants or designed to help anthropologists come together, even from organizations that emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration.  So I am trying to put together a group of international anthropologists to come together for a workshop on insects as food.  The plan is that it will be the day after the Eating Innovation conference so that we have lots of fodder for discussion.  However, I am having a hard time finding anthropologists!

Many scholars write about the eating of insects by humans and even use the term "anthropo-entomophagy," most notably J. Ramos-Elorduy in the journal Entomological Research, and most recently E.M. Costa-Neto in the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed.  However, there is a great difference between 'anthropo-entomophagy' and 'entomophagy anthropology' and I am searching for people out there who understand that difference.  

So please, if you are an anthropologist (or a social scientist in general) outside of the US who studies insects as food (or studies food more broadly and is interested in investigating entomophagy), get into contact with me!  I want to work with you to come up with money to bring you here to Detroit for the 2016 conference next May!

    Julie Lesnik received her PhD studying the role of termites in the diet of fossil hominins and has since started exploring insects as food more broadly.
