Class description
"Animals, Ethics and Food: Deconstructing Dominant Discourse" Students enrolled in this course should gain a better understanding of the workings of the U.S. food system (at both an industrial and small scale) and the experience of animals within this system. Using animals in the food system as a case study, this course will explore notions of power and difference, ethics and responsibility, and creativity in reimagining the status quo. This course will push the boundaries of how we think about difference and discrimination and recognize the intersections between human and animal oppression. Please email instructor at katieag@u.washington.edu with any questions about the course.
