This course facilitates the study of intersecting systems of oppression and inequity --in particular socio-economic class; race, ethnicity, and political standing; and gender-- all of which impact access to basic needs, especially healthy food. This course examines how food systems, geography, and social policy impact personal health and wellness, in the context of diverse communities. Particular focus is placed on community-based work to achieve food justice. Students are guided in the application of concepts and ideas in their personal lives.
