Dear Colleagues, Apologies for the cross-posting. Kindly forward this information to potentially interested students studying * Film, Media, Communication **or Journalism*. ------------------- 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).
