Religion and Food

Religion and Food
This course will examine religion and the construction of religious identity, morality, and community through food and cooking practices. We will consider how “rules” about what, where, when, and with whom one can or cannot eat not only shape the values of particular religious traditions, but also how they inform our very sense of what “counts” as religious. We will engage with practices from a variety of the world’s religious traditions and students will conduct independent research about specific practices of their own choosing in any tradition.
