Don,

I am a member of the Intlawprofessors listserv, but I don't know how to post to it.  I was hoping you could make a post on my behalf along the following lines.

I am teaching a course on the international law of food for the first time this summer in Parma, open to both law and undergraduate students from any institution for credit.  Feel free to disseminate the attached in whatever form you consider appropriate without checking further with me.

Attached is an informational announcement, which I have also copied below.  I have also attached a preliminary syllabus.  As far as the syllabus is concerned, the flier suggests anyone interested contact the Office of International Programs at Boston College, so if that can't be accommodated as an attachment in the listserv format no worries.

Thanks so much, and please don't hesitate to contact me to the extent anything would benefit from being retooled to meet your needs.

David



Feast on the International Law of Food this summer!

                Experience a 4-week banquet in the form of summer study in Parma, Italy -- one of the few courses in the world devoted to the international law of food, an issue of immense emerging importance.  The course, which will be held in the city considered the European or even the world capital of food, covers food supply, safety, security, subsidies, trade, and a variety of other contemporary issues.  Field trips include visits to the European Food Safety Authority in Parma and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome, as well as a cooking class at a local culinary institute.

                The course, taught by Boston College Law Professor David Wirth, who has extensive academic and practical experience in the field, should be of particular interest to those considering law school as a user-friendly introduction to legal method.  It will cover material of interest to those studying social sciences, including international relations, international studies, political science, and sociology, as well as to generalists from all disciplines.  There are no prerequisites, and no knowledge of Italian is required.

                Credit will be awarded to non-Boston College students, both undergraduates and law students, by prior arrangement with the student's home institution.

International Law of Food
May 25-June 21, 2014, University of Parma, Italy
