MPH 580 Food, Nutrition and Society

Food is a universal language – everybody eats! Like most languages, food varies from place to place. International travel allows for an immersive food and eating experience. The course will introduce students to the role of food and nutrition in society and culture. Assignments that specifically investigate the cultural, social, and scientific aspects of food and nutrition will help expand our understanding of food as cultural identity, and nutrition as an integrated discipline in public health
