• What's Worth Wanting?

  May 25

  9:00AM – 10:00AM

  Loria Center | Room: 351 — 190 York St.

  What's worth wanting? This is a question The Rev. Dr. Matthew Croasmun, of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School, asks students in his popular course. We live our lives day to day solving problems, taking on projects, trying to achieve our goals, sometimes asking just what it is we want to achieve after all. But deeper questions are always there, often waiting just out of view as we go about our usual routines: What kind of life would be truly worth wanting? What kind of world would be truly worth seeking? How ought we to live?

• American Cuisine and How It Got This Way

  May 25

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Yale University Art Gallery | Room: McNeil Lecture Hall — 1111 Chapel Street

  Paul Freedman, Chester D. Tripp Professor of History

  Professor Freeman's new book, American Cuisine and How It Got This Way, looks at the question, Is there such a thing as American cuisine, and if so, what is it? The distinctive things about American food are its regional traditions, their erosion by processed food which dominated the twentieth century,and a love of variety. Variety is partly a compensation for the blandness of factory-made food such as white bread, produce bred for durability, or American cheese slices. The yogurt may be an industrial product, but it comes in 30 flavors. The popularity of processed food has waned and has been gradually supplanted if not completely replaced by a return to primary tastes, freshness, and to some degree seasonal and local dining. This talk centers on the 1970s as the turning point.

• Architecture, Memory, and the City: New Haven and Beyond

  May 25

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Linsly-Chittenden Hall | Room: 101 — 63 High Street

  Elihu Rubin '99, Associate Professor of Urbanism, Yale School of Architecture

  To what extent are our individual and collective memories linked to buildings and places? What are the social and psychological impacts of urban change, from urban renewal to gentrification? Are there local buildings, or "Old Haunts" at Yale, that continue to resonate in your cognitive map of the city? What role should architectural preservation play in the future city, and what creative heritage techniques might be used to bring a sense of the past into the present? Using examples from New Haven and beyond, architectural historian Elihu Rubin discusses these topics and describes recent community-based work he has initiated with students.
