The World on our Plates: Culture, Politics, and Food Systems
This co-taught course takes as its starting point something everyone needs in order to survive - food - and examines how the personal is entwined with the social and the political. It must be clear this is not a course on “clean” eating or dieting - rather, it aims to examine how our individual choices are shaped by the larger food systems around us. Together, we will examine the food that ends up on our plate - where it comes from, what it is made up of, who is involved in putting it together - to attend to larger questions around the systems that produce food. This course is less interested in the breaking of bread than in the baking of bread. That is to say, whilst the symbolic and cultural elements of food are generally known, this course aims to focus squarely on the material dimensions of how food is made. We will consider how questions around labour, migration, race & gender, coloniality, capitalism and the climate crisis are wrapped up in the production of food. With our guidance, students will come to see how their choices around the food they consume are shaped by larger social and political contexts. They will see how these contexts affect their individual lives - their nutrition, health, bodies and selves. They will reflect on their individual contexts and produce personalised analyses on whether and how they might want to change the food choices they make - in a way that is conscious, intentional and realistic.

Kincentric Healing Justice and Art
This interdisciplinary course applies arts praxis and arts-based research methods to the study of earth jurisprudence with two intentions; 1) to critique systems of injustice constructed by colonialism and capitalism at the level of the carceral legal system, the legislative strategies and policies that implement the law as a lever of change; and 2) to envision, imagine, speculate webs of co-existence, co-becoming that support mutual thriving of people and land (which encompasses the webs of beings living in relation to a place). The course is designed to develop skills of deep listening and and an ethics of consent and reciprocity to help us discern what is needed to build these new worlds of respectful relationality. Following fish philosopher Zoe Todd’s call to center Indigenous laws and sovereignty, the course takes an unapologetically anticolonial approach to design and pedagogy/ andragogy. The majority of resources will draw on Indigenous knowledge and culture-keepers, BIPOC elders and activists, and Rights of Nature advocates working in solidarity with Indigenous environmental activists. This course emerges from a collaboration between arts praxis and earth jurisprudence to co-create protocols that disinvest from coloniality/modernity and bridge partitions between humans from “the rest of nature.” Students will learn with and participate in ecosocial justice movements through poetics, interdisciplinary arts, social sculpture, legislative action and/or narrative arts.
