UNST 320 - Foodways: Australia SG

Studies the intersection between food and culture, and serves as a lens by which to understand a people and their location in the world. This extends beyond the question of “what is eaten” to where food is obtained, how it is produced, prepared and distributed, and the ways that food shapes identity and sustains communities. How these change over time provide insight into a people’s lived history, and the economic and environmental forces associated with location. Foodways provides insight into current identity, past history, and future aspirations. By focusing on the foodways of a specific culture or nation-state, students also gain a better understanding of their own cultural assumptions.
