The world of food involves a dazzling array of legal and policy issues. This course will focus on issues related to discrimination and inequality--particularly in relation to race, gender, and immigration status. Topics will include worker rights in the agriculture, food processing, and restaurant sectors; intellectual property and cultural appropriation issues connected to food; and problems related to food insecurity and the government programs designed to address it.
Students will be required to submit weekly 1-page responses to the assigned reading in advance of each session.
