Posted by Tracy in : books,environment,events,geekery,news,nyc,politics,school , trackbackIf I can get my policy midterm done in time, I’m seriously thinking about going out to New Haven tomorrow for the next event in the Rudd Center Seminar Series:
“Changing the Food Environment by Working with Food Stores,”
by Joel Gittelsohn of the Center for Human Nutrition at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (also the Healthy Stores Project).
Wednesday November 4, 2009
12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
309 Edwards Street, Conference Room
New Haven, Connecticut
I mean, that is more or less exactly what I want to write about for my food sociology final…. it even made the New York Times this weekend, which made me super-happy since I had to propose my paper topic in class yesterday. Phew!
Then on Thursday evening it’s just one awesome event after another, starting with:
WHO’S WHO & WHAT’S WHAT:
The Evolution of the Food Cognoscenti in America
4-6 PM, Fales Library
Panelists:
Mitchell Davis, Author & VP of the James Beard Foundation
Barbara Haber, Food Historian, Author, Curator & Chair of the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who Committee
Daniel Humm, New York Times‘ Newest Four Star Chef
Marion Nestle, Author & NYU Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies & Public Health
Bob Spitz, Julia Child’s Biographer
Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, Third Floor
70 Washington Square South
New York, New York 10012
Suggested Donation: $10
RSVP to 212.992.9018 or rsvp.bobst@nyu.edu
The problem is I don’t know if I can resist “Beyond the Curry: A Look into the Indian Food Industry” by Krishnendu Ray at 5 pm (on the first floor of NYU’s Silver Hall, 100 Washington Square East at Waverly Place).
And after that, Judith Jones is giving a talk at The Strand, but I’ll probably still go to yoga because I missed it so very very much last week.
Seriously, all that in just two days! Color me embarrassed by such riches.
