<Title>Ethnography of Food - AMST 403/630</Title>
<Tagline>Offered Spring 2020 with Dr. Sarah Fouts</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">With a focus on labor, migration, and food access, this upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level course is designed for students to gain a critical lens into the cultural production and consumption of food while also understanding and critiquing the ways scholars conduct ethnographic research. In the first half of this course, students will discuss readings and learn about a range of ethnographic data collection methods, while considering ethical issues involved in ethnographic research. The second half of the course will be co-taught with Fernando López, a New Orleans-based cultural documentarian, and we will engage in further inquiry of fieldwork as we apply qualitative research approaches to a Baltimore-based documentary project with Mera Kitchen Collective, a cooperative run by immigrant and refugee women. If you have questions, please contact Dr. Sarah Fouts: <a href="mailto:sfouts@umbc.edu">sfouts@umbc.edu</a> </div>
