Program Description: How do anthropologists learn about a place? Using contemporary ethnographic methods, they cultivate their senses to see, hear, touch, smell, and taste the stories and worlds around them. In this dual course summer program taught by a UCSC Anthropology Professor, London will become a living laboratory to learn how anthropologists study and practice ethnographic methods, with a focus on how and why food is an especially important gateway to understanding culture, power, exchange, memory, identity, histories of colonialism, and postcolonial futures. Immersive learning activities will provide exceptional opportunities to experience London’s multicultural food traditions firsthand. Discover more here.
