ANTH 207 - Good Food: Eating & Community

4 credit(s)
People give meaning to the consumption, distribution, and production of food and its effects on bodies in ways that define the appropriate social relationships in the world. This course explores how societies build connections between what we eat and who we are and between definitions of good food as linked to definitions of a good society and a good life. We will discuss how people define themselves and their cultures via food production, distribution, preparation, and consumption. This class will also critically examine food systems at local and global levels. Offered triennially.
