Food and Globalization Practice Questions
Course Introduction
Food and Globalization examines the complex relationships between food, culture, and global systems throughout history and in contemporary society. The course explores how the production, distribution, and consumption of food have been shaped by processes such as colonization, trade, migration, and technological innovation. Students analyze the social, economic, and political impacts of global food systems, the movement of culinary traditions across borders, and the ways cultural identities are constructed and challenged through food. By considering issues such as food security, sustainability, and ethical consumption, the course encourages critical thinking about the role of food in an interconnected world.
