HIST133 HM - Food and American Culture

Credit(s): 3

Instructor(s): Staff

Description: This course investigates the social and cultural history of food in the United States. In many ways food is the quintessential “dense social fact,” and its production and consump­tion embody many different layers of meaning. Consequently, one of the main goals of the course is to be able to look at food in a more critical, self-conscious, and theoretically and historically informed way-to problematize something that is so prosaic that we often take it for granted.
