Description: This course focuses on two fundamental qualities of being human: the consumption of food and the creation of culture. We will explore the multiple facets of what food is, and what it does: how it is created, how it circulates, how it is consumed, and what its inherent values are. By focusing attention on environmental phenomena, ethical questions, social practices and the values associated with food, family and place, students will also be invited to engage with their own experiences and histories with food and they will be introduced to key concepts and methods in the social sciences to analyze how food is fundamentally a manifestation of social and cultural processes.
