CAS-244 Food, Culture, and Communication
The study of food has become increasingly popular in the last decade. The relationship between food and human experiences has been well documented. It helps us establish our identities, negotiate our environments, and define our cultures. As Greene and Cramer state in their text Food as Communication; Communication as Food: Food is no longer viewed merely as a means of survival; Food is a nonverbal way we create, share, and transform meaning with others. This course will examine the relationship between food and communication in several contexts: media, culture, and interpersonal relationships.
