Overview
In this special topics course, students will analyze the ways that food accessibility and environmental threats are gendered, sexualized, and racialized within the global context in the 20th and 21st centuries. We will begin by studying the intellectual linkages between food, feminism, and environmentalism. For the rest of the semester, each week will be devoted to seeing how topics such as water, seeds, labour, cookbooks, and more are gendered. The class will also look at social movements and activism that has tried to combat or ameliorate some of these issues.
