History of Intellectual Culture from the University of Calgary
This is a quote taken from their site - " an international peer-reviewed academic electronic journal that provides a forum for publication and discussion of original research on the socio-historical contexts of ideas and ideologies and their relationships to community and state formation, physical environments, human and institutional agency, personal and collective identity, and lived experience. The journal highlights the viability and vibrancy of intellectual history as a scholarly field, presents new perspectives for research and analysis, and promotes critical discussion among researchers, scholars, and students across disciplines."
Popcultures.com
Sarah Zupko's site. Popmatters.com is also published by her. Did a few reviews for the latter. Cool for people who wants to study popular culture, which inevitably, is the US of A's mainstream culture. Lots of scholarly and intelligent sources, and academic journals for cultural studies students and enthusiasts.

Culture, Politics and History
- A paper presented at the British Society of Eightenth Century Studies Seminar in 5th January 2004
This article is about the politics surrounding food as closely linked with gender relations in eighteenth to early nineteenth century family relations, gender relations in private and public sphere, food with relation to economics and commerce, sexual politics and the whole sociological and psychological spectrum in Great Britain. I will also be extending my explorations to include the British colonies, with emphasis on the colonies of British India and Old Malaya, and how it could be analysed through the changing flavours of the diets found in the meals of the locals and the colonial masters. Due to the difficulty in procuring extant materials on the colonial meals/breakfast related to the eighteenth century of these colonies, I have chosen to work from more ready materials published from the early to late nineteenth century and extrapolate from there with due regard to historical context. Such references will be taken from historical reproductions, hagiographies, first-person accounts of visiting Europeans, critical and historico-mythological writings by leading local scholar-teacher-writers, and magazines published around that period. Due to the rich racial dynamics already prevalent by the nineteenth century, I will be exploring how racial/cultural and worldviews influence the kind of foods consumed by the general populace in the colonies. Finally, I will try to show how political changes taking place in the Great Britain and her colonies influence each other for the better or worse.
