HIS 149F Southeast Asian Histories, Societies and Politics in Nine Tasty Foods
Examines political, cultural, and historical dynamics in Southeast Asia from the early modern period to the present. Students explore canonical reading and some of the most influential theories of Southeast Asian studies through animal and plant life that have gastronomically served the region for centuries. This approach leads students to recognize the utility of interdisciplinary investigation and to consider how fields such as ecology, zoology, and maritime studies have been impacted by methodologically creative work in the humanities and social sciences on the region.
