Courses offered in the Food Lab include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>SCI 123 <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Food and Cooking:<\/strong> A survey of the underlying physics and chemistry relevant to food and its preparation. Topics include: molecular building blocks of food, phases and phase transitions, emulsions, foams, gels, fermentation, taste, soil, plants, self-assembly, microbes, and nutrition.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>HIS 170 Food: A Global History:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This course explores the human and historical dimensions of food. The cultivation and control of food supplies is. a basic function of all organized societies and polities. Shared food traditions and tastes shape cultural identities of particular groups. In short, food is at the center of human existence, and human history can be told as a story of how food has been produced, distributed and consumed. Taking a broad approach, the course traces changes in taste, production, trade and consumption, from the Paleolithic period to the twentieth century. With case studies drawn from China, South Asia, Europe, and the Americas, it offers a global narrative of world food history. Students will learn about the fascinating histories of certain key foodstuffs (e.g. sugar, wheat, chocolate, potatoes, bugs, etc.) and examine a number of critical themes, including consumerism, taste, industrialism, famine, and dieting. Learning will be enhanced by experiential components, including cooking, gardening, and visiting lectures. The course will introduce the concepts of historical thinking, using the \u201cIGRASP\u201d methodology (Inquire \/ Gather \/ Reflect \/ Analyze \/ Synthesize \/ Present).\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Spring &#8217;22 iteration included a 9-day study abroad experience to Italy in March.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>RLN 205 Interfaith Eating and Ethics:<\/strong> This course explores food as a central human experience, connecting people across the table and across the globe. Food serves as a core component of culture and religious traditions, from sacred meals to dietary laws to feasting and festivals. Food consumption and production also raises questions of ethics and social justice. The central questions of this course are: how do people use food to make sense of themselves, create meaning, and spiritual and human connection? And how do people use religious and spiritual commitments to think about food sustainability and justice?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Booking the Food Lab<\/h3>\n<p>If your group wants to use the space and supplies for your own gathering or event, contact us at campuskitchen&#64;augsburg&#46;e&#100;&#117; to book a time or schedule a customized workshop with our support!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>neighborhood learning<\/h2>\n<p>As an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/president\/2020\/06\/15\/augsburgs-anchor-institution-commitments\/\">Anchor Institution<\/a>, it&#8217;s also important to us to make our resources available to Cedar-Riverside community members outside of the University.<\/p>\n<h3>Somali Women&#8217;s Group<\/h3>\n<h3>Pillsbury United Communities Youth Internship<\/h3>\n<p>Once a month, we welcome members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/pillsburyunited.org\/programs\/youth-internships\/\">PUC Youth Internship<\/a> cohort to the Food Lab for a special cooking workshop.
