Food Matters! Explorations in Food Across the Liberal Arts

Catalog description

This course offers an interdisciplinary experiential approach to the study of the production, consumption, representation, and meaning of food. Food Matters encourages students to critically examine an aspect of their lives which is deeply personal, public, and political. The course aims to have students recognize that whatever is on their plate has social, political, cultural, and economic consequences and that these consequences have local, domestic, and global implications. Students participate in community engagement food activities and original food research.
