ANTH 410 - Tastes, Appetites and Moral Obligations: The Anthropology of Food

Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4 SS, CD

This course will explore the sociality of eating using a diverse selection of readings to consider the ways social scientists have engaged food practices to theorize broader issues of gender, race, class, kinship, hunger, and power. We will examine the networks of global relations and hierarchies in which food practices and circulations are embedded, as well as how such practices are central to the ways we construct moral relationships with our bodies, and with each other.
