FOOD AND CULTURAL STUDIES

Undergraduate

This course introduces students to the study of food and its relationships to identities (i.e., gender, race, class, national status), the body, community, popular culture, and politics. It explores how historical and contemporary food production and consumption practices both construct and reflect these relationships and examines such questions as how food is defined and how it circulates to both perpetuate and challenge power and privilege. Cross-listed with Foods & Nutrition 2310.
