* The Politics and Culture of Food* - a new summer course

ENVR POL 390
6 weeks, EVAN, 6/19 - 7/26 
TuTh 6:30 - 9pm 
Brian Bouldrey and Garth Fowler 

In this course we will take a humanities-based view of the challenges of poverty, obesity, and the burgeoning field of food culture. Each week, we will examine the politics and culture of food through the lenses of science and the humanities. We will devote one week to each of economics, psychology/biology, anthropology, religion, public policy and literature. Through lecture, discussion, short and long papers, and student projects and presentations, this interdisciplinary course will provide both a survey and a focus on the challenges and future of food politics.
This course counts toward the Weinberg College social and behavioral sciences distribution requirement, Area III.
