Print this page Eating Their Words II: More Literature Of Food

This new collection of food literature looks at how food and emotions intertwine in deeply personal ways. Sometimes food generates pleasure and excitement. It can soothe and comfort us. It connects families and creates communities. But at other times, it disgusts us, and provokes fear, guilt and anger. These readings will spark conversations about writing, food, and your life experiences. Readings will be supplied. Coursebook

Start your Group: Anyone can start a Discussion Group – seek out some like-minded friends or put up a notice in your local library, bookshop or workplace. Please note a minimum of 6 people is required to start a new discussion group.

Arrange the Meetings: New groups need to decide where and when to meet, and for how long – whatever best suits members' particular situations.

Run your Group: Choose a secretary to liaise with WEA and your tutor, a Discussion Leader to chair meetings, a reporter to take discussion notes to send to your tutor, and maybe a librarian to look after the books.

Start the Course: Contact WEA Sydney to enrol. Bookings can be made for one year, divided into two terms – Term 1 commences in February, Term 2 in July (Groups may make forward bookings for popular choices). Please indicate in what order your Group wishes to study the courses, if more than one course is booked.
