A Recipe for Success, or for Assignment Starvation? When Students Wanted an Assignment Outline, What I Gave Instead, and What Happened Next

Issued Date: 4 Jul 2017

Abstract


This article is about teaching fieldwork-based analytical writing, using a recipe. It comes out of my unease with some traditional forms of university pedagogy, and is part of a larger story of how I used food and foodways materially and epistemically in a second-year course. Here, I focus on how and why I adapted a part of my course mid-stream in response to student needs, by responding to student requests for an assignment handout with a recipe for writing.
