ENVR 385 - Food and Environments in the U.S. South

CR: 3
Prerequisites: CORE 140 and a 200-level course in ENVR, ECON, HIST, ARAS, or POLS. Permission of the instructor also required. This course explores relationships between food and environments in the U.S. South, where “environments” range across fields, cities, forests, factories, oceans, suburbs, mountains, roads, rivers, mines, and places between. The boundaries of the U.S. South as a region can be fluid, and the course will explore connections with other regions both in North America and globally. The course will include deep engagement with the work of women and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) scientists, farmers, chefs, writers, land stewards, and other leaders who have shaped the relationships between food and environments in the region, and will integrate methods and sources from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
