The Anthropology of Food and Body explores the way that making, eating, and thinking about food reveal culturally determined gender-power relations in diverse societies.

The challenges of a complex and volatile world require solutions that reconcile divergent perspectives and interests. In schools, interdisciplinarity has been integrated within curricula for decades, yet it is rarely applied as a collaborative practice. Communication between different fields of research is not enough. Without meaningful collaboration, opportunities to connect are lost, and teachers and students fail to benefit from the experience of lived interdisciplinarity.

Das Buch folgt der Ausgangsvermutung, dass die EU nach wie vor keine kohärente Immaterialgüterrechtspolitik verfolgt, sondern über punktuelle, meist anlassbezogene Maßnahmen agiert.
