Gustolab International is accepting applications for the summer 2019 
study abroad course on '*Food Media, Communication and Trends Course (3 
credits)* 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. The 
course is also open to graduate and post-graduate students, and scholars.

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

Students have the possibility to earn three credits for this course from 
the University of Massachusetts Amherst. There are no prerequisites for 
this course.  The course is offered within the Critical Studies on 
Food in Italy Summer 2019 program, a 5-week program that takes place 
from Monday May 20th to Saturday, June 22nd, 2019 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
