Introduces the modern history of spaces that have supported the production, supply, and consumption of food since the 19th-c within the global exchange of ideas, commodities, and dissemination of foodways under the aegis of colonialism and capitalism. We look at a range of spaces from the forest and farm to restaurants and residences. Our goal is to understand the role of architecture and planning in supporting the changing connections between different scales of food production and consumption.

Professor was okay, she seemed sweet but I do think your TA makes or breaks your grade. unfortunately most of the ARTHI classes are paper heavy. overall easy ish class
This professor is simply extremely boring but she is not the problem. The problem is the TAs. Most do not know what is going on and will grade like their life depends on it. They are rude and extremely unhelpful. If you need an area F please try finding another class that won't hurt your GPA.
Chattopadhyay may be a bit intimidating at first, but she's genuinely interested in the subject matter and student learning. The only assignment was to keep a journal of class activities and the occasional assigned reading. If you show up and do the journal, it's an easy and fairly interesting class.
This professor lacked respect and was not at all respectful. She was rude and did not treat the students well. She should not teach.
Professor is very passionate about the subject and can be intimidating at times due to the amount of knowledge she has and her expectations of students. She makes lectures engaging based on how much she knows and clearly tells you what to expect for midterms, assignments, and projects.
5 modules each worth 10%. Midterm and final online. Chill class but super uninteresting and the lectures felt 10 hours long. TA grades hard and makes you walk around the Arts Building every week writing down observations. Felt like the class was a waste of my time, did not learn much. Dissapointed in the GE classes at UCSB.
