For your final assignment, please take a look back at the different ways we have

For your final assignment, please take a look back at the different ways we have engaged with thinking about “food and the city” over this semester, including questions of space, relationships, consumerism, marketing, governance, and ethics. Building on all these arguments and materials, we now ask that you engage in productive thinking around the food city dynamic.
Your essay should be around 1,500 words; the maximum word count for this assignment is 2,000 words. Alternatively, you can make a short movie, podcast, or slide show covering the points below. If you choose one of these options, you must accompany it with a 500-word essay.
Pick a specific topic related to food and the city that we have discussed in class, food tourism, school lunches, food justice organizations, etc. OR you can choose a topic we did not cover such as food in museums, pop-up restaurants, food media etc.
State why this topic matters in general and then why it is interesting to you. What are some key issues related to this topic? What works? What is amazing? What is challenging? What is special in terms of the urban environment? You don’t have to solve any big issues here – that can take decades! – but rather we want to see how you understand and engage with this specific food-city dynamic.
You should bring in discussion points from at least two of the readings from the course. The readings can be from any module. Even if you pick a topic that was not covered in class, you need to relate it to two readings from the course. I am interested in what connections you can make, and I want to see that you are thinking deeply about the topic you chose.
What I don’t want to see: Generic answers that could be generated by AI. And trust me, I know what these look like!
What I do want to see: Your analysis. Your creativity! Your voice! What YOU think! How do you see or think about food and the city now that is different from fifteen weeks ago? What have you personally learned from the course? What will you take away from having taken part in this learning experience? You are now a food-city dynamic aficionado—let me see how what you’ve learned has impacted how YOU think about food and cities and what that landscape can/could/should look like.
