This course provides an introduction to food history, oral history, and public history. Students will conduct oral history interviews on the Manitoba Food History Truck, process them for archival deposit, and produce a public history project (podcast episode) for possible publication (as part of the Manitoba Food History Project podcast series Preserves).

The first week of this course will be taught in classrooms at the University of Winnipeg (5 classes of 3 hours each). Students will be divided into small groups for the second week, with instruction time of approximately 6 hours per day, to participate in field research trips, conduct archival research, and do research on the Manitoba Food History Truck.
