FOOD 100 - Perspectives on Food

3 Credit(s)

This course is an exploration of the multitude of roles that food plays in the world. Each class will consist of a discussion of food through a different lens, such as culture, history, economy, nutrition, power, medicine, and ecology. The course will be highly discussion based and students will be challenged to explore their own personal relationship with food. Grades will be determined based on class participation, weekly reading reflections, a blog-post, and a food sharing presentation in which you will explore the history, culture and personal meaning of a specific dish.
