The course analyzes how race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, age, ability, citizenship, nationality, or ethnicity may frame an experience of exile in specific ways. While the course draws on social science analyses of exile, home, belonging, diaspora, transnationalism, and so forth, special emphasis will be given to narratives created by exiles themselves that explore these concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the Spring \u201924 and Fall \u201924 semesters, students in this course partnered with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.africancommunityeducation.org\/About-ACE\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">African Community Education (ACE)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to complete a community-engaged project entitled, \u201cFood, Culture, and Belonging in Worcester.\u201d This project encourages students to expand their acquisition of knowledge of how mobile and\/or displaced individuals and groups produce or adapt a food culture\u200b\u00a0 in a new setting. Students will learn about \u2014 and from \u2014 Worcester-based\u200b communities who have experienced forced movement, displacement, and\/or exile, while exploring and identifying food practices and the different ways these relate to community and identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This community-engaged project with ACE has produced a variety of outputs,
