Rye: Cultural History and Embodied Practice

<p>Online Course.&#160;Based in methodology from gender and sexuality studies, we use the grain rye as a focal point to offer a highly interdisciplinary exploration of the biology, agriculture, changing cultural importance, culinary practice and mythology around “rye.”&#160; Part of a collaboration with the Bread Lab at Washington State University, this class will include an examination of when, how and where desire for rye food products flourished and waned, how different knowledges co-exist about “rye” including the embodied practices of women who bake with rye as well as the knowledge that rye itself might contain. Enrollment limited to 20 students.&#160;1 Credit. Session B: July 1 – August 2. Tuition: $5070. Technology Fee: $85.</p>
