ANT 300 - Food and Culture Food provides a window into the human experience: how we find the means to survive and meet our basic needs, how we form communities, and how we give our lives meaning and express our identities. Our relationships to food are individual and at the same time reflect our connections to local, national, and global communities and networks. This course will consider what food-the ways we obtain and use it, and the meanings we give it-tell us about being human and being part of a community. We will address topics including sources of food, the development of cuisines, food as an expression of identity and solidarity, body image and food, the ethics and politics of food choices, and the ritual uses of food. Pass/Fail: Pass/Fail option Course Typically Offered: Every 3 years.
