Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

History

Description:

Joe, java or jet fuel. Whatever you call it, coffee has occupied a privileged and, often, controversial place in human history since its discovery in Ethiopia hundreds of years ago. In this course students learn about the coffee's origins, global dissemination and rise to prominence. In addition, they have an opportunity to engage with coffee culture and learn, first hand, about its trade and production from some of Salt Lake's most esteemed baristas, roasters and wholesalers. This course will take place in and outside of the classroom where we will be viewing films, discussing readings and convening at some of the city's hottest coffee spots to learn from those who know this ancient drink best. Course fee: $40.
