Module overview

This is a Module not about learning new facts or figures, or necessarily huge swathes of substantive knowledge about food consumption and food production (a dominant theme). Rather it invites you to develop a repertoire of theories and concepts to think critically about your own ideas, practices in relation to environmental citizenship, what you eat, how you relate to the natural world, who we are as humans in what has been named as the ‘anthropocene’ and the era of the ‘post-human’. These different areas of interest are connected by how they position societies relationship to, the naming of and production of what is unproblematically often called ‘nature, Nature or natural’.
