However, following the integrative week 10 presentation assignment from fall quarter, during winter quarter you&#8217;ll create an integrative post every two weeks for each case study.  Integrative posts should include appropriate highlights from your work in these components: a) Film Series; b) (un)Natural Histories; c) Regenerative Agriculture; f) Sustainable Entrepreneurship; g) Climate Justice and Resilience Events; i) Bibliography.  The word &#8220;appropriate&#8221; invites each student to engage in components according to availability as well as student interest.  The breadth and depth of your highlights for each component will vary depending on that case study&#8217;s curriculum and corresponding campus events as well as student interest.  A thorough and curated case study of your choice is due week 10 when you present it as a cumulative winter quarter project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: <strong>#3.5 Tea <\/strong>is a special event focused on an Oolong Tea Tasting as part of Evergreen&#8217;s Lunar New Year Celebration.

Like an  Evergreen Academic Statement, this question asks you to engage in an  iterative (reflective, integrative, repeating) process of learning.<\/li><li>How  can terroir\/meroir best be understood, represented, shared? What  disciplines, practices or media are needed and why for knowing and  communicating the following aspects of terroir\/meroir?

Always begin by providing 1-3 sentences of a key quote from your foodoir (with author, title, page #) that you&#8217;ll be responding to by creating your own story of taste and place. Create a reading schedule week one in order to read approx. 1\/9 of the book each week.  Choose your ONE foodoir from this list (also provided on the TM syllabus): <em>Farming While Black<\/em> by Leah Penniman, <em>The Rise: Black Cooks and The Soul of American Cooking <\/em>or <em>Yes, Chef: A Memoir<\/em> by Marcus Samuelsson, <em>The Flavor Equation <\/em>by Nik Sharma<em>, The Gastronomical Me <\/em>by M.F.K.

SW will be providing a prompt from Harold McGee&#8217;s <em>Nose Dive<\/em> each week, which students can choose to juxtapose with their foodoir quote, or not.  <em>Nose Dive<\/em> locates the human sense of taste in relation to the evolution of plant earth.  It also provides a blueprint for doing taste research, beginning and ending with McGee&#8217;s story of tasting grouse.  All students will be supported to develop independent research projects for 4-12 credits during the spring quarter, or sooner as your interests take form.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\"><p>Quotes from fall quarter&#8217;s weeks 1&amp;9 reading from <em>The Cooking Gene<\/em><\/p><cite>Michael Twitty<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\"><p>\u201cThe Old South is a place where people use food to tell themselves  who they are, to tell others who they are, and to tell stories about  where they\u2019ve been (xii). <\/p><p>The Old South is a place where food  tells me where I am.&nbsp; The Old South is a place where food tells me who I  am.

(365)<\/p><cite>Michael Twitty<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Like our program\u2019s focus on terroir\/meroir, the focus of Michael Twitty\u2019s <em>The Cooking Gene<\/em>  is food and place.&nbsp; But, for Twitty understanding the taste of place  requires being able to tell a story that locates the storyteller in  relation to food and place. The Cooking Gene as a food memoir is part of  a rapidly growing field of popular and academic interest in the  intersectional politics of food.  During fall quarter we read <em>The Cooking Gene<\/em>  as a \u201cblueprint\u201d for writing our own \u201cfoodoirs.\u201d During winter quarter you read the story of your choice of an author&#8217;s identity as an eater, consider your own story of self,  food, and place.&nbsp; In what ways does (and doesn\u2019t) your author\u2019s writing  provide a blueprint for yours? What do you choose to eat and why? Who  cooked you and who cooked for you?&nbsp; How has that cooking\u2014and its  history\u2013shaped your taste preferences and experiences? As you experiment  with crafting words to communicate your taste experiences be sure to  include that process in your story. What characterizes your experience  of the relationship between your mouth as an organ of ingestion and an  organ of disgestion?  How do your hands relate to your mouth and to your  keyboard?  Where, when, and how is your thinking embodied? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final part of your Tasting Lab post each week should include writing toward your own foodoir.&nbsp; Ground\/anchor your writing in relation to a specific quote (or series of quotes) from each week\u2019s chapters from <em>The Cooking Gene<\/em> or the foodoir of your choice. &nbsp; Note: Like his book, <a href=\"https:\/\/afroculinaria.com\/\">Twitty\u2019s WordPress website<\/a>, <em>Afroculinaria<\/em>, is  award-winning.  What about both inspire you? Suggested Length:&nbsp; 100-200 words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you chosen your foodoir text?
