Food for
Thought: Eating, Politics, and Pedagogy
(Or, Is the way to a student’s mind through her/his stomach?)
Just back from the Popular
Culture Association’s Southwest Conference, which focused on food and culture,
Sean Murray (Assistant Professor of English Composition in the Institute for
Writing Studies) had the opportunity to present and attend panels related to
the politics of food. These sessions offered numerous practical ideas for using
debates centered on food (factory farming, GMOs, the high price of healthy
eating, etc.) to stimulate critical thinking and interesting writing. Snacks—healthy ones, of course—will be
provided.
Date: Thursday, February 23
Time: 1:50à2:50 PM
Place: Writing Center Back Lounge
