Food Justice

This course introduces students to essential topics in food justice that cover all aspects of the food chain, from production to consumption. As part of Southwestern's London Program, the class will include guest lecturers and field trips, giving students the opportunity to experience and engage in the London food scene and food activism. Students will develop oral communication skills by participating in class debates on cutting-edge food justice issues and presenting their final papers. They will study the historical origins of food inequality and how critical perspectives can inform modern food law and policy.
