Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1855 Food is part of the universal human experience. But everyday experiences of food also reveal much about human difference. What we eat is intimately connected with who we are, where we belong, and how we see the world. In this course, we will use a socio-cultural perspective to explore how food helps us form families, national and religious communities, and other groups. We will also consider how food may become a source of inequality, a political symbol, and a subject of social discord. Examining both practical and ideological meanings of food and taste, this course will address issues of identity, social difference, and cultural experience. Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC); Enrollment cap: 25; 12 spots reserved for Taste 360 students; for the remaining 13 spots, the following enrollment criteria will be used for the lottery: Majors and minors by class (seniors then juniors then sophomores). |
