I recently completed the Undergraduate Certificate in Anthropology of Food at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a detailed and meticulous person, I appreciated the structured approach of the course, which covered a wide range of topics related to food and culture. The lectures were well-organized and easy to follow, and the assignments were challenging but manageable. I particularly enjoyed the section on food and religion, which explored the complex relationships between food, faith, and identity. The course materials were of high quality, with a good balance of theoretical and practical content. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more case studies from diverse regions, such as Africa and the Middle East. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the course and I think it's a great option for anyone interested in food studies.
