This seminar examines the connections between food and power, and explores how social explanations work. Humanity's quest for food has shaped the development of societies in many ways, influencing population growth and urban expansion, dictated economic and political theories, expanded the horizons of commerce, inspired wars of conquest, and the discovery of new worlds. We look at how the acquisition, preparation, and consumption of food affects relations within and across societies, from the beginning of recorded time to today.
