Course(s) of the Day
FOOD STUDIES: A GEOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE (Environmental Studies 3900.01)
Days/Times: Tuesday& Thursday, 3:30pm to 4:50pm
Professor: Allison Hayes-Conroy
CRN: 40428
About: Do you like food? Nutrition? Cooking? Have an interest in urban agriculture? Food-based social movements? Rural landscapes? Do you eat? Purchase food? Feed others? This course is for all of the above! We explore food and food systems through the lens of critical theory. Readings are drawn from the interdisciplinary field of food studies, centered on critical scholarship within geography, and will focus particularly on issues of public health, social justice, and environmental sustainability. Topics include gender and racial identity, food and environmental justice, globalization and neoliberalism, dieting and nutrition, queer and crip perspectives, and much more. In the classroom we focus on doing – creating knowledge together and collectively engaging in sensory and food-based activities, including the practice of qualitative and ethnographic social science methods.
About the Professor: Allison Hayes-Conroy is an Associate Professor in the Geography and Urban Studies department. She is a broad-thinking geographer that likes making connections between different interests, disciplines, and ways of knowing. She’s a very mediocre cook, cares a lot about her students, and loves cats, chocolate, Colombia, and complaining about the weather.
Motivation & Identity (EDUC 3900.01) - TAUGHT BY AMANDA!!!
Days/Times: Monday, 5:30 - 8 PM
Professor: Amanda Neuber
CRN: 42320
About: Why do we do the things we do? Are we driven by internal, controllable forces or external, uncontrollable forces? How do environments and social groups influence our actions? What propels or repels individuals from reaching goals, and how are those goals developed in the first place? The study of motivation seeks to understand the underlying processes that initiate, direct, and maintain human behavior. Our self-definitions, individual goals, perceived realities, and available possibilities interact within our cultures and contexts to drive not only our actions but how we feel about them. This course will provide an overview of motivation and include the significant role of identity from an educational and psychological perspective, but the material can be applied broadly. Any deep study of psychological processes includes opportunity for personal reflection and analysis of self, so bring your self-awareness!
About the Professor: It's Amanda!
