I am so excited to be offering this new American Studies Course.

I love food!

And like you, I try to eat healthy, protect the earth and support our economy. But how can we do that? There a so many studies and opinions, but which are the right ones? Or are there any right ones?

To focus our discussion of this timely topic, we will read Michael Pollan: The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. Pollan is a top notch writer and researcher, and I know this very readable and relevant book will spark a lively discussion.

Our work will include short quizzes, seminar discussions and a term project. And of course, lots and lots of food!
