2012-2013 Academic Theme
This year's theme is focused on food. Members of the UMA community will work to incorporate the theme in the classroom and through campus-wide programming. The theme, and its corresponding reading, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser, can be used as a catalyst for discussions on the significance of food cultures; food and capitalism; globalism and food; food and gender; nutrition; health; etc. We anticipate a film series, a project to bring greater food options to the UMA Bangor campus, and an undergraduate conference on the theme, among other events, will help amplify the importance of looking critically at food in the academy. We also hope to eat well.
