6 modules

Food and Society

This module concerns the roles, functions and values of food and nutrition in the social world, and how they shape, and are shaped by, social processes.

In the autumn, students explore food and social thought, appraising diverse social perspectives on food, nutrition, and health. Students are challenged to develop their sociological imagination, as they learn classical sociological theory concerning the ‘big’ ideas about food and society, and later more radical contemporary perspectives. A weekly photo captioning exercise gives students the opportunity to make sense of their own experience of food, and how it interacts with the world around them. Different social ideas are taught each year, reflecting the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of food and society.

In the spring, the theoretical ideas are put into action, as we imagine new ways of using food to improve social experience, by exploring people-led, grassroots actions which support healthy diets through processes of social change. Each lecture serves as a showcase of grassroots food and nutrition activity, seeing people taking control of the food system to improve health and social justice. Salutogenesis, the social process of health creation, will come to life as we showcase brilliant innovations in local communities, celebrating the value of food in supporting healthy spaces and lives.

The final assessment for this module will see you visit a grassroots initiative, to undertake an ethnographic exploration of how people are using food to develop communities and change the world. You will write a reflective, theoretical account of what you experienced, and use it to propose actions you can undertake as a nutritionist to provide support.

Nutrition Across the Lifespan

This module considers nutrition at all stages of life. The lifespan will be split into pregnancy, infant (0-1 year), early years (1-5 years), primary school age (5-11 years), adolescence (12-18 years), adult (18-65 years), and old age (65+ years). At each stage we will consider the nutritional needs of that age group and how this can be achieved. Students then get the opportunity to be actively involved in the content for the second semester by choosing areas of lifespan nutrition they would like to learn about.

The timetable for the spring semester will be built around these suggestions, examples of previous taught content has included oral health through the lifespan, and bone health and prevention of osteoporosis, and nutrition and skin health. We aim to provide a programme of taught material that takes the student from cell to population level content which will support interest at both clinical and population level lifespan nutrition.
