The delicate art of eating has many implications for sustainability. Food production and consumption affects the climate, the natural environment and the landscape. Food also affects the sustainability of societies and its individuals. Both bodily functions and length of life is partly determined by how, what, where and when we eat.
Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
The aim of the course is to give the student a broad introduction to the study of food and eating in relation to sustainability.
The course has an interdisciplinary approach, combining cultural, nutritional and geographical perspectives. Local field studies are combined with a global outlook, based on literature studies.
