CrsNo ANTH159 PO
When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2014.
Instructor(s): D. Gladney
This course is intended to introduce students to the social practices and meanings, symbolic, biological, and political, that surround food and food-related practices. Food is at the heart of most cultures around the world and we will look closely at the ways in which food is used as prescription, taboo, or social solidarity. Feasts, fasts, and diets will be viewed in historical and social context with close attention to issues of gender, class, and religion. Consumption in the global context will be linked to local tastes and food practices. Letter grade only.
