Description

This course examines different topics related to the history of food. The place and time period covered in the course may vary according to the instructor.  Students will examine themes related to the production, distribution, and consumption of food and explore how these practices have shaped local, regional, and global cultures, economies, and politics. Students will gain better understanding of why the study of food matters to historians, providing insight into the global impacts of migration, cultural exchange, industrialization, trade, and empire as well as more interpersonal dynamics of family; community; and the production or deconstruction of racial, class, gender, ethnic, national, and sexual identities.
