Science, Technology, and Human Values: Food and Human Society

Course Overview: "In this course we will examine the science (from the Latin scientia, past participle of the verb to know), technology (from the Greek tekne, skill, and logia, discourse or expression of, the word about), and human values (or culture, the totality of socially-transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and other products of human work and thought) of a subject that is of universal concern: food! Scientific and technological changes occur in the context of a full psychosocial, political, cultural, and physical environment. This course will examine some of the changes that have occurred, the continuities that have endured, and the effects that both have on food production and consumption." 4 credits. This course can be used, with FRC 101 and FRC 102, to complete the Freshman Core Sequence for General Education in Western Civilizations, Other World Civilizations, Arts, and Humanities, OR on its own to fulfill the Humanities General Education requirement.
