What is food? A thing we eat, a creator of cultures, an all-encompassing system? An object, a process, a way of understanding ourselves? A focus of transdisciplinary practice and study? A way to altogether reimagine study and practice in the first place?
This book aims to help students address these and other questions, providing clarity and understanding about numerous themes, while also opening up possibilities for future exploration. It is also intended as a way to think about and transcend disciplinary boundaries, so that food itself might become a starting point for learning about and conducting research on food.
An open educational resource funded by eCampusOntario, Food Studies is freely available to all users. It is best read in its web-based HTML format, but is equally available for download as an EPUB or screen-optimized PDF. Print-on-demand copies may be ordered as well.
