Inquiries in Food Studies: Food, Art and Ethics

Catalog description

This course delves into the intersection of food, art, and ethics, exploring how art can challenge and expand our understanding of ethical issues related to food. Examining a diverse array of artistic expressions reveals how artists use food to encourage, critique, or re-imagine existing power structures and social, economic, environmental, and political dynamics. We critically explore how art can shape belief systems, values, and actions, and offer creative possibilities of how people might live.
