SO 275/ PAS275 Introduction to Africana Studies1098
PAS275 This course is transnational in nature and interdisciplinary in delivery. The course focuses on the interconnected historical, artistic and political forces of the African and African Diaspora experience. As a transnational course it examines the Afrodiasporic experience through the relationship of peoples, ideas, cultures and events across geographical boundaries. And as an interdisciplinary endeavor it informs and filters that experience through an integrative framework of various subjects of inquiry and methodologies. The course also introduces students to the content and contours of African Studies as a field of study-its genealogy, development, theoretical orientations, multiple methodological strategies and future challenges.

HN 397l A Closer Look at the Extinction of Earth’s Edibles1098
This class will study the history of the Slow Food Movement especially as it pertains to the preservation of unique ecosystems, the recovering of traditional processing methods and the safeguarding of native livestock breeds and local plant communities. Case studies will include an examination of various cultures and their food practices – not just the items of food themselves but the traditions associated with cultivating and preparing the foods as well. Examples include South African raw milk cheese, the Argania tree from Morocco and the milpa method of agricultural production in Central America. In addition, students will become familiar with the Ark of Taste and its mission which is, in part, to “provide an ethnobotanical and historical characterization of cultivars, local breeds and products as a measure for the recognition of what is typical and/or traditional” as applied to the production of food.
