East Asian Food And Identity
This two-week course will look at the globalization and consumption of East Asian food.
Overview:
Food and foodways follow people as they move to new places. Diets change with changing work schedules and living standards. Changes in transportation and demand have changed how food is produced and distributed. In this online seminar, you’ll learn about the globalization and consumption of East Asian food.
