Nutritional Sciences Seminars in Autumn!

Submitted by Colleen Park on August 19, 2020 - 1:22pm

NUTR 390 Food Seminar (1 cr) - Food Documentaries: Fact or Fiction?

The course will help students learn how to critically evaluate several films and determine whether they are presenting accurate facts, peer-reviewed science, and practical solutions. Is the film a veiled marketing ploy to advance a specific agenda and presented with doomsday constructs, limited or anecdotal evidence, or pseudoscience? 

The course, taught by Anne-Marie Gloster, who is a food science and culinary expert, also explores how food documentaries fit into public health discussions.

Course sessions will be offered asynchronously and all majors are welcome. 

NUTR 400 Food Systems Seminar (1 cr) - Food Systems Resiliency
