Description
In this Winter Quarter ILC entitled “How Food Makes Us Feel: Consuming Digital Texts” the student will aim to further develop a level of thoughtful annotation and understanding of digital research skills using the online software Hypothes.is, while researching and developing ideas surrounding key questions of food and feeling. These questions include: How does digital reading invoke emotions surrounding food, how does learning about food digitally affect the way we consume our food and our knowledge? How does food evoke feelings? Why do we respond the way we do to food, and how do our experiences shape our response? Using a selection of online readings that take a bite at the questions from different angles combined with readings from Jenae Cohns “Skim, Dive, Surface”, the student hopes to create and use a similar analogy to that of Cohns and annotate works to create a list of examples supporting potential answers to the questions.
Learning Objectives
1. To further develop my skills in digital annotation, and explore the connections between Jenae Cohns digital reading metaphor of “Skim, Dive, Surface” with one that parallels food studies, and identify the ways in which digital reading food based literatures invoke emotions around our food and kitchens.
2. To develop my own ideas surrounding food and the way it makes us feel as individuals and communities, by reading and collecting my annotations from multiple sources, annotating to create a list of examples that support answering the key questions.
