Course Description
Questions of food access have become prevalent in many dimensions of public and communal life. Researchers have discovered ways to “track” food access in communities and neighborhoods. Congregations and not-‐for-‐profits are developing varied programmatic responses to issues of food access in their communities. This course explores issues of food access, food justice, and faith using insights and tools both from research sciences and theology. One course goal is to increase student awareness of the questions being posed by research scientists, theological educators, and faith communities. A second course goal is to equip students with practical and reflective tools for effectively leading faith communities to think theologically about and respond effectively to this pressing public issue.
