Join OWU professor Chris Fink this summer in sunny Italy to study and experience first-hand, the Italian Mediterranean diet. The 5-week program is hosted by the Umbra Institute in Perugia, Italy.
In this course, you will examine the history of the Mediterranean Diet, how it rose to prominence, and how it is put into practice in and through the community: at markets, kitchens, gardens, in general discourse and rhetoric, and at the dinner table in present-day Italy, particularly in Perugia, and more broadly in Umbria.
Aside from course content, students will have the opportunity to get hands-on experiences outside of the classroom to more effectively understand the nature of food and community. Students also have the option to add a second elective course from Umbra’s offerings for an additional fee. Click here to learn more and apply.
Applications are due Feb. 1, 2025. Contact Dr. Fink (clfink@owu.edu) or Lisa Ho (leho@owu.edu) for more information.
