[Plsugs] FW: Presession: ANTH 395B Anthropology of Food

[Tanya Quist]

ANTH 395b The Anthropology of Food
Summer Pre-Session 2011 (May 16th - June 17th) Online Course

Food is central to human life, but how food is defined, acquired, and
consumed varies widely throughout the world.  This class will explore how
food nourishes and shapes our bodies, how historical changes in food
acquisition have shaped society, and how globalization is re-shaping what
and how we eat.  As the social and cultural importance of food will be
emphasized in this class, we will also examine the role of food in building
identity, making meaning, organizing society, and creating social practices.
This course will draw on anthropological theory and methods to understand
the importance of food in shaping and giving meaning to human life.

This class will be taught entirely online, running from May 16th through
June 17th.  If you have questions, please contact Megan Sheehan
