Academic Internships

Throughout the year, we offer a rich variety of customized academic internships. For undergraduate and graduate students interested in food studies, sustainability, food production, food systems, marketing, business, hospitality, gastronomic tourism, nutrition, psychology, anthropology and more. Scholars, researchers, and professionals are encouraged to inquire. Internships are unpaid.

Japan

Japanese cuisine, or Washoku, offers invaluable opportunities to think about the intersection of the modern and traditional, local and global, rural and urban, nature and society, taste and waste, our future and sustainability. The program is based in the city of Osaka “the food capital of Japan”.

Vietnam

Vietnam is an extraordinary country filled with a remarkable history and culture, and a visual feast for the eyes. This program makes extensive use of the whole country as a site. Students will encounter and visit more of the country and its features than most travelers, and certainly more than most Vietnamese.
