Overview
The course familiarises the students with social factors behind contemporary food inequality, including food (in)security, abundance, food waste, and paradoxes of charitable food assistance. These social factors are discussed within the ethical and theological frameworks of food and eating, as well as planetary, cosmopolitan, and critical theologies, and utopian thought. The theoretical explorations are applied in a practical workshop on alternative food futures. Through critical, analytical, and creative exercises, the students acquire skills to apply utopia as a method and pedagogy. The course includes research literature and expert lectures that engage the students with participatory, ethnographic, and collaborative methodologies on studying food, inequality, and utopia. The course includes an excursion to a local sustainability project.
