This book explores the potential of school dining halls as spaces
of social learning through interactions between students and
teachers. Schools, Food and Social Learning highlights the neglect
of school dining halls in sociological research and the fact that
so much can be gained from fostering interpersonal relations with
other students and the school staff over meals. The book focuses
primarily on social and life skills that students develop during
lunch-hour meetings, modelling behaviors while eating and
conversing in the school space known as the 'restaurant'. With case
studies based in the UK, the book takes a social constructivist
approach to dealing with the tensions and challenges between the
aims of the school - creating an eating space that promotes social
values and encourages the development of social skills, and the
activities of teachers and catering assistants of managing and
providing food for many students daily. The book carries snippets
of interviews with children, dining hall attendants, teachers,
parents and the school leadership team, offering a new way of
thinking about social learning for both scholars and students of
Social Anthropology, Sociology, Social Policy, Food Policy,
Education Studies and Childhood Studies.
