Food and Culture ANTH-184-301 Jane Kauer Discover the “meanings underlying eating and food in the United States, and the different ways that individuals construct ‘self’ and identity through food and eating.” Profound, man. And a 1.77 difficulty rating on Penn Course Review can’t hurt.
The Politics of Food PSCI-135-401 Mary Summers An academically-based community service seminar about food, cross-listed with Health & Societies and Government Administration. Better yet, students are required to attend various “food events” at Penn. Participation points never tasted so good!
Writing Seminar in English: Food For Thought WRIT-039-312 Thomas Devaney, Jr. This food writing course teaches students about the craft of writing through descriptions of their culinary adventures. The course also includes field trips and various gourmet adventures. Devaney is a Street editor fave, and this class is nearly impossible to get into. So abuse Penn InTouch this summer and snag one of the rare open spots.
