This course offers a unique opportunity for students to gain an interdisciplinary overview of crises and opportunities in today's food system through a weekly lecture series bringing high-profile speakers to campus from diverse sectors: academia, grassroots movements, public health, farming, and more. Designed as an academic-community partnership, the course is led by a UM faculty member (Finn) with a leader in food justice in Detroit (Bynum), along with the program manager of the UM Sustainable Food Systems Initiative (Fink Shapiro).
