Food and Culture*

46-3210

This advanced Cultural Studies Seminar is an interdisciplinary investigation into the cultural dimensions of food. Using a variety of theoretical perspectives and models, the course examines issues of gender, ethnicity, class, consumption, agribusiness, global politics, and semiotics while we attempt to understand the complex ways in which social norms, cultural meaning, and economic realities underlie food habits.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.

* Prerequisite Required.
