Pedagogical Techniques for Teaching a Food and Culture Course: Drawing on Students' Own Cultures, Experiences, Strengths, and Interests to Help Them Understand Other Cultures through Their Foods

Abstract

Food and culture courses are inherently multi-disciplinary, as they include geography, history, law, science, culture, religion, and sometimes even language and literature. While this may make such a course more interesting from the point of view of the instructor, it would also in some cases make it more difficult from the point of view of the student, who may have a natural interest and aptitude in some but not all of those areas. This paper reviews different teaching techniques designed to reach all of the students in a class with diverse interests and abilities.
