Registration is open for the next session of the library’s new discussion series, Curiosities: Voyages Beyond the Stacks!
Curiosities is a ‘book club’ for those of us who are wary of a cover-to-cover commitment but still want to meet up and talk about interesting stuff with fellow lifelong learners. We welcome students, staff, faculty, and community participants!
Each session meets once a week for four consecutive weeks, discussing material ranging from podcast episodes to articles to mini-documentaries. Our next session, Food & Gratitude, will run from October 21 to November 11, meeting on Thursdays, noon–1 p.m. via Zoom.
Exploring the myriad ways that gratitude – or lack thereof – affects our experience of food, we’ll delve into the people, plants and systems that contribute to what we eat. What do we appreciate, and what is overlooked? We’ll ingest a range of sources, from economics to culture, and pair each week’s material with a suitable recipe.
