GEO 342 - FOOD, RACE AND ENVIRONMENT

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course serves as a critical analysis on the intersection between ‘race,’ geography, food/agriculture and environment. Food is something that all of us have a relationship with, but this relationship is colored by our distinct experiences in racialized bodies. This does not mean that all people of a racial/ethnic group have the same food traditions. We will discuss the ways in which food (production, preparation and consumption) is inextricably tied to both race and ethnicity.
