Abstract:
This article examines the teaching and learning experience of Cultivating Change, an upper-level undergraduate seminar at Connecticut College, a liberal arts college in the northeastern USA. I describe the goals, structure and activities of the course and assess the teaching and learning experiences in comparative and institutional context. In so doing I aim to: (1) chart the development of an interdisciplinary course linked to a project on beginning farmers, a curiously overlooked topic in food studies with a host of social, economic and policy implications; (2) describe and assess a transformative teaching and learning experience for me as professor and for students; and (3) identify the key elements of this active learning environment that might be profitably applied to the growing number of courses on food topics.
