Description
Anthropology is interested in the role of food and the relationship to humans. Food is vital to our health and wellbeing, however there remains a constant struggle to produce, exchange and eat the food that we need to live a healthy and productive life. Our relationship with food is complex. This course examines the ways in which we understand food as essential, chosen, patterned, and dynamic. Students examine how culture shapes our food production, distribution methods, and dietary habits in all stages of our lives.
