GHY 2700 - Food Justice: Geographic Perspectives (3) [GenEd: SS]

When Offered: Fall; Spring
GEN ED: Social Science Designation; Integrative Learning Experience (Theme: “Revolutions: Social and Political”)
We are undergoing a Food Justice revolution as food systems respond to climate change. This course examines the critical role of Food Justice in the political, social, and cultural revolutions in bringing change to human society. What foods we produce, and what foods we consume, are dictated by the specific conditions of place and our shared values. This course will take a broad view of food production and consumption with an eye towards issues of global sustainability, gender, and justice. While remaining mindful of the global context of food, we will be taking advantage of our location in the southern Appalachians, many of the examples we use in this class will be rooted in the specifics of Watauga County, North Carolina.
