Course Description
This course explores the relationship of human migration to changes in food systems and agricultural practices across time and space with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, social, and affective dimensions of contemporary patterns of human mobility, migration, and displacement. Ethnographic and theoretical themes include: the role of food in shaping migration and settlement patterns throughout human history; famines, food shortages, and changes to the global division of (food system/feeding) labor as outcomes of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, slavery, imperialism, dispossession and displacement; dietary shifts, meanings of food, identity, and belonging around culinary practices and preferences, and implications for health; and contemporary food- and food system-based social movements as these intersect with race, ethnicity, class, citizenship, gender, and (dis)ability as well as with global and local struggles for liberation.
