HIST 4055 The Foods of the Nuevo South

This course explores the integration of Latin American and US Southern foodways. Using food and food production as a framework, the class will also explore the influence of migrant communities, farmworkers, food insecurities, gender roles and cultural identities on local and regional cuisines. Students will participate in multiple field trips and/or culinary experiences, and learn from regional scholars and chefs about the complex networks of food systems that over time have shaped this emerging food culture.
