American Food Studies: Home

What is in this guide?

 

Food studies is a growing area of scholarship that allows individuals to think critically about an aspect of their lives that is highly relatable and transcendent across all cultures.  The food we produce and consume has a deep political, social, and economic consequence.  This guide provides resources on a range of food studies topics and its many related disciplines.  Discipline-specific resources can be found through the tabs at the top of the page.
