Across historical time and cultures, humans have made various arrangements to care for children who, for whatever reason, do not have permanent homes. Adoption, a legal process transferring parental rights from one family to another, is one such process. However, other solutions for children are also used, including care by extended family, circulation of children, foster care, legal guardianship, orphanage care, group homes, re-homing and others. This seminar inquires into the future of adoption as a structure that provides families for children without permanent homes.

Have you ever looked at your plate and wondered where the different foods came from? Have you ever wondered when Americans began to love chocolate, bananas, or sushi? In this course, we will explore a transnational history of food, beginning with the Natives of North America prior to European contact and ending with the processed boxed meals found on our supermarket shelves today. We will look at the ways in which our food systems developed, how they were influenced by immigration and intra-continental movements, and how the American food systems changed food worldwide.
