Course Description:
How does the making and sharing of food -- and relatedly, the representation of food in nonfiction, literature, and film -- help us to engage with broader questions of identity and concepts of community? How might we eat, analyze, and interview our way towards an intercultural understanding of these topics? The goal of this course is to use food, and narratives about food, to develop a stronger awareness of diverse culinary practices and traditions. Coursework will consist of some cooking and eating; interdisciplinary readings and guest lectures; and journalistic research into the rich, local foodways that surround and sustain us.
