South Asian Nutrition & Cardiometabolic Health is a student-led DeCal exploring the connections between food, culture, nutrition, biology, and public health.

What is the DeCal about?

Building on many of the conversations we’ve had through our cooking workshop, we’ll explore topics including:

South Asian dietary patterns and healthy adaptations to traditional foods

Diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease

Glycemic index, sodium, added sugars, and understanding nutrition labels

Family dynamics and cultural food traditions

Mindful eating and our relationships with food

How culture, socioeconomic factors, and healthcare inequities shape health outcomes

The course is P/NP, 2 units, and meets Wednesdays from 8–9 PM in Dwinelle 87.

If you enjoyed our cooking workshop and want to learn more about why the foods we eat matter for our health, we’d love to have you in the class.

Students interested in participating in RCNR DeCals (student facilitated courses) can do so now!

But first a quick refresher - What is a DeCal?

DeCal stands for "Democratic Education at Cal" and refers to student-run courses at UC Berkeley. Students create and run their own courses on a huge array of subjects, from the broadly practical to the niche interest.

Where can you find DeCals?

DeCals Can be found on classes.berkeley.edu under the 98 and 198 catalog number, additionally you can find a list of the RCNR's DeCals here: Fall 2026 RCNR DeCals

Do other departments have DeCals?

YES! DeCals are also across many subjects! You can review them on the website: DeCals @ Berkeley Fall 2026 DeCals will be posted by mid-August.

What does it mean to be open to opposing views? This course emphasizes the Berkeley Changemaker themes of critical thinking, effective communication, and productive collaboration. You will combine critical examination of evidence-based, multi-disciplinary research and theories with personal self-reflection and practice in engaged discourse. These are interwoven with implementable strategies, directly applicable to the public, private, and civic sectors, to help you develop a sharper sense of how to engage productively with those whose perspective might be radically different from your own. As you do so, you will be exposed to approaches from academic disciplines across UC Berkeley and will sharpen your changemaking skillset.

The Berkeley Center for New Media is an interdisciplinary research center that studies and shapes media transition and emergence from diverse perspectives.

A new media certification provides enhanced skills in analyzing and/or designing future media with an awareness of historical, social, and cultural perspectives that might not be visible from a single discipline. Emphasizing a critical understanding of the nature and implications of new media, our students draw on theories and methodologies from the arts, the humanities and social sciences, and science and engineering, to innovate while questioning the impact of new media on the human experience.

Our students are eligible for a host of opportunities through the Center, including conference and summer research grants, our prestigious Lyman and Eugene Jarvis fellowships, our AAPI Media Creatives fellowship, research support, teaching positions, and unique experiences through our working groups and the world-class speakers we bring to campus.

We are accepting applications for admission to the Designated Emphasis (DE) in New Media Ph.D. program, the Graduate Certificate in New Media program, and the Undergraduate Certificate in New Media program.
