CDAE 195 Food Health & Media
Pre Req: Juniors and Seniors
Counts: CDAE course and Food Systems Minor course

CONTENT
We will talk about traditional media (news/tv/ advertising) and new media (blogs, cell
phones, internet) contribute to how people think about and act on health and food issues.
We will think about media influences public understandings of food and health, but also
how we can use media to contribute to these understandings.

READINGS
We will have a mix of book, online, and article readings. I don't plan to have students
buy a 'text' book, but I may ask for students to buy a couple cheaper 'popular' press
texts.

ASSIGNMENT
Undergraduate Students: Undergrads will be asked to complete at least 1 hour of
participatory-observations in a food-health context per week. Students will choose one
location for observation. These may include volunteering or frequenting fast food
restaurants, farmers markets, cooking classes, a farm, or a food bank. Each student will
develop a blog and write about his/her/x observations, interpretations, and extensions
once a week.

Graduate Students: Grad Students have two options: (1) blog with some additional
standards of rigor or (2) work in groups or co-authoring with me on research, rhetorical
analysis, or policy analysis.


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
