WLLC 304 Tasting the World One Plateful at a Time: A Study of Food, Language, and Culture

Food is at the heart of our existence. It not only sustains us physiologically, but moreover, it is an expression of our humanity. Not only what we place on our table, but the rituals of how we prepare it, how we share it and with whom are a reflection our attitudes, values, and beliefs. This course explores the nexus of food, language, and culture around the world and the cross-linguistic differences and similarities among them and the rich communication which results when we gather to sup with one another.
