Job description
The Gastronomy Program, a graduate-level, interdisciplinary food studies program at Boston University’s Metropolitan College, is seeking a qualified individual to teach the following course in Spring 2011 (January 24 – May 2):
MET ML 715 - Experiencing Food Through the Senses
This course is an interdisciplinary exploration of the sensory foundations and implications of food. We will study the senses as physical and cultural phenomena, the evolving concepts of terroir and craft, human nutritional and behavioral science, sensory perception and function, and the sensory and scientific aspects of food preparation and consumption. Understanding these processes, constructions and theories is key to understanding a vast array of food-related topics; cheese-making, wine-tasting, fermentation, food preservation, culinary tools and methods, cravings and food avoidance, sustainability and terroir, to name just a few.
This class will meet Mondays from 6-9pm.
PhD (preferred) and a minimum Masters qualification required.
