This course looks at food as an opening through which we can understand faith in incarnational and joyful terms, and as a rooted space where we can partner with others to seek justice. Focusing on Gospel narratives of Jesus’ life with food alongside more recent liberation and decolonial movements, we will explore how following the example of Jesus in the contemporary world can take shape through the efforts of food justice. We will also engage in a variety of mapping exercises and practices that will assist us in understanding our own contexts. Throughout we will seek to discern where we can plant and nurture the seeds of love and justice in our communities and places.
