Food, Animals, & The Environment

(4 Credits)

The purpose of Food, Animals, and the Environment is to critically analyze the place of animals in our food system and in the environment, with an emphasis on the intersection between them. The course examines the main impacts that agriculture has on humans, nonhumans, and the environment, as well as some of the questions that these impacts raise for the ethics of food production, consumption, and activism. This seminar is designed to reflect the rich overlap between the fields of Environmental Studies and Animal Studies.
