ENVS 397H: Geographies of hope: Mexico's food cultures, histories, activism

Environmental Studies · 2 credits

This one-credit winter quarter course is the in-class companion to the winter intersession ENVS 337I course. Mexico has one of the world’s most accomplished food heritages. Many Americans are unaware that in ancient times the country’s native peoples domesticated many important food crops such as corn, the tomato, avocado, squash, pinto beans, and cacao (chocolate). In this course we examine these food traditions in an area of Mexico with an important indigenous and colonial culinary history. This pre-departure course offers readings and lecture, and presentations on Mexico’s diverse food heritages and culinary histories. Must be taken as a companion course to ENVS 337I.
