SOC 2851 - Dangerous Eating (3)

This course examines food in a social context. What we eat, the way we eat, and whether we prepare or provide food for others is every bit as much symbolic as it is rooted in biological survival. We create identity, claim ethnic and national affiliation, demonstrate our social class, and affirm our femaleness and maleness with the foods we purchase, prepare, select, or order from a menu. This course will help students to investigate the way the foods people eat (or don’t eat) hold meaning for people within multiple cultural contexts. Fall, in odd numbered years only.
