SLGY 4203

(3 credits) 3 hours lecture This course introduces students to the significance of the relationships between food, people and society. Even though eating is an individual choice it is affected by society at large. Thus we will explore the social, economic, political, and symbolic dimensions of food systems and food behavior to gain a better understanding of the social determinants of food and eating. The primary aim of this course is to help students understand social inequality through the lens of food.
