Honors Course Immerses Students in Korean Cuisine
Honors students enjoy Korean lunch.
On Monday, November 28, 2022, students in the Farquhar Honors College reading seminar enjoyed authentic Korean cuisine in honor of their course text—Grace M. Cho’s Tastes Like War. Funded by the Honors College, the meal allowed students to experience firsthand some of the dishes Cho writes about in her powerful memoir about food and family.
Course instructors Leanne Boucher, Ph.D., professor in the College of Psychology (COP), Kelly Anne Concannon, Ph.D., associate professor in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences, and William Collins, Ph.D., professor in COP, planned and hosted the lunch for students in their section of the reading seminar.
The honors reading seminar is offered every semester and allows students to engage with and lead discussions on a chosen text that changes each semester. Tastes Like War, the selected text for the second term of the fall semester, documents Cho’s relationship with her schizophrenic mother, her familial and cultural history, and the importance of food to both of those relationships.
