Race and Science

In Race and Science, we will focus on three themes: our current understanding of human variation based on what we know about human evolutionary history and population genetics; how science has been used to both support and undermine racial categories and hierarchies; and how racial categorization impacts human health and well-being. We will explore these themes through readings, videos, class discussions, student expert panels, and research papers.

Italian Food Culture Trad/Mod

Food is essential for Italian family and society, and the food industry is an important part of the Italian economy. Starting with Carlo Petrini's Italian Slow Food revolution, we will explore and analyze the strong relationship between food, culture and business in modern Italian society. We will read and discuss literary and historical texts, films, and, of course, cookbooks. Taught in English.
