Understanding Neurogastronomy
Through independent study I developed an understanding of Neurogastronomy through Shepherd’s Neurogastronomy: How the Brain Creates Flavor and Why It Matters in the context of the offered in-program texts in effort to improve on a pedagogical theory of food studies. To gain a practical understanding of how to contribute to Fertile Ground’s community garden collective, I attended weekly work parties and volunteered time at their Food Nook.
