Everything is ready for the start of teaching activities at UNISG. On Monday September 5, the classrooms will welcome two classes, one of 24 students and one of 25, for the new Master of Gastronomy: Food in the World.
This English-language Master has been developed to focus in more detail on the world’s food cultures and to train and inspire new professionals with an awareness of a gastronomic and social landscape in constant flux.
The innovative and rich curriculum draws on the support of internationally renowned lecturers, who will be covering subject areas such as Food and Environment, Cultural Ecology and Food History, Anthropology and Sociology, while exploring themes of multiculturalism, justice and globalization. These lessons will be flanked by specialized thematic and regional classes taught by scholars and experts on subjects ranging from pastoralism in Africa to the art of fermentation in Asia, the indigenous foods of South America and the food of migrants and diasporas.
The nationalities of the students are as varied as the syllabus; one class has students from Poland, Canada, the USA, Italy, India, Germany, France, Portugal, Australia, Turkey, Austria, Switzerland and the UK, while the second has students from USA, Israel, Taiwan, Italy, Tanzania, France, Turkey, India, Canada and Germany.
