This course will explore the intersection between access to sustaining food and human wellbeing. After defining the two foundational concepts of food security and public health, students will address these concepts’ relationship through case studies at multiple levels: the self, the community, the country, and the world. Content will be drawn from authentic policy texts and from students’ lived experiences. Aesthetic and spiritual aspects of food and wellbeing will also be considered. Key questions guiding course activities will be:

• What does it mean to live a life with dignity?

• What is the role of food in our lives and wellbeing?

• What role should government play in assuring our wellbeing?

Class sessions will be predominately discussion- and activity-based. Assessments and deliverables will include vocabulary and grammar quizzes, Integrated Performance Assessments (including interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication tasks), and a personal project related to students’ fields of study. There is no required textbook; materials will be distributed in class. The course will be conducted in French and is destined for students with an Intermediate Low level of proficiency.
