Grounded in place, this course will explore the relationship between food, land, and healing by making connections with urban farmers in Philadelphia and caring for the Good Food Garden on campus. Centering the work of Black, Brown, and Indigenous thinkers and practitioners, topics may include the intersection of food and identity, food sovereignty and agroecology, commoning and land justice, land-based pedagogy, and healing praxis. Coursework will include readings, journaling, and an "action" project of the student's choosing. Field trips may include visits to the North Philly Peace Park, Soil Generation, and Urban Creators. |
