This class presents a focused look at how issues of gender and gender-inflected magical thinking come into play in the history and production of cheese, from medieval to modern times. We will discuss how cheesemaking led to accusations of witchcraft due to the “magical” process of fermentation involved therein, as well as how mystical thought was used to make sense of alchemical processes in cheesemaking which we've only recently begun to understand. Some general knowledge of cheese is recommended, but not required. Lecture followed by discussion and tasting. Instructor: Juliana Locke
