Description: Food has historically been deeply symbolic. This course explores historical and current cases of food as persuasion. How are food choices ethically implicated and how are those implications addressed persuasively? Surveying readings that analyze these phenomena and also readings that exemplify them, the class will address the rhetorical construction and use of food.
