AADS3400 · African and African Diaspora Studies
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course is designed to introduce students to the social, political and cultural meanings of food across the African Diaspora. We will cover not only the meaning of food but also the importance of race in key aspects of global food systems, from food production and processing to the distribution and consumption of food. This course will also explore food access and security and the ways in which intersecting identities make meaning, experience, and respond to such issues. By the end of this course, students will be able to apply relevant frameworks, namely environmental justice, to food-related dilemmas globally.
