Gustolab International <https://www.gustolab.com/> is happy to announce

that we are accepting applications for the summer 2020 study abroad course on

*Food Media, Communication and Trends Course *in Rome, Italy. This

course focuses

on the intersection between food, sustainability and media, a connection

that has elicited much interest in communication studies over the past few

years.



Students will learn:



   - Storytelling – identifying potential angles for a story

   - Ethnographic research - learn how to construct a narrative

   - Reporting on important topics such as sustainability, culture,

food systems,

   migration

   - Developing practical skills needed for effective cross-cultural

   communication

   - Interviewing – asking the right questions and getting to the heart of

   your subjects

   - Short documentary production – framing, lighting, sound and editing



There are no prerequisites for this course.  The course is offered within

the Critical Studies on Food Systems and Sustainability program, a 4-week

program that takes place from May - June in Rome, Italy.   This program

assists students in understanding the role of food in human cultures as

well as the range of choices and values implicit in the foods eaten in

Italy and elsewhere.  Students can also select from the other courses

provided in the program. Some other possible course offerings for the

summer session are Critical Studies on Food; Food, Nutrition, and Culture

in Italy; Food Waste in Italy, and  Italian Language for Food and Business

(Italian).  Some scholarships are available.
