You will learn the same curriculum as our on-campus students
An introduction to the ways in which people's food habits are shaped not only by their biological needs, but also by the economic, political, ecological, and social worlds in which they live. Students will learn about the economic underpinnings of diverse American foodways; the relationships between food, power, and social status; gendered food production and consumption; the cultural nature of "healthy eating"; the intertwining of foodways and the environment; food's role in religion; and the pressures that keep individuals eating according to cultural norms. Students will explore how these realities affect their own lives and eating habits.
