On our Politics of the Global Food System short course we will examine key questions about power in the global food system. We consider major debates about global supply chains in the food system, the impact of food on international relations and security, and its role in fostering transnational ‘hybrid’ cultures. We also focus on political structures such as multilateral regimes and economic processes like commodity exchange in the reproduction of the global food system, and how the latter in turn affects climate change and our patterns of consumption.

This cross-disciplinary course incorporates sociological, geographical, political-economic and environmental policy literatures into its syllabus.

We aim to cover:

  • Food and the City
  • The Political Economy of the Global Food System
  • Famines, Wars and Starvation
  • Race, Ethnicity and Transnational Foodways
  • Food and Social Movements
  • Food and Global Security
  • Food and Climate Crisis
  • Food Choices and Food Deserts
  • Food, the Media, and Celebrity Cooks
  • This course is non-credit bearing, so carries no credit points.
