SUMMARY:Alice Waters\, We Are What We Eat
DESCRIPTION:Legendary chef and food activist Alice Waters will be in conversation with bestselling author Michael Pollan about her new book\, We Are What We Eat: A Slow Food Manifesto—an impassioned plea for a radical reconsideration of the way each and every one of us cooks and eats. This event is presented by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, and cosponsored by the Humanities Institute. \n \nIn We Are What We Eat\, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture\, the philosophy at the core of her life’s work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971\, she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. \nCustomers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients\, to the dishes made by hand\, and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space–human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout\, frozen dinners\, and prepackaged ingredients. Waters came to see that the phenomenon of fast food culture\, which prioritized cheapness\, availability\, and speed\, was not only ruining our health\, but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another. \nOver years of working with regional farmers\, Waters and her partners learned how geography and seasonal fluctuations affect the ingredients on the menu\, as well as about the dangers of pesticides\, the plight of fieldworkers\, and the social\, economic\, and environmental threats posed by industrial farming and food distribution. So many of the serious problems we face in the world today–from illness\, to social unrest\, to economic disparity\, and environmental degradation–are all\, at their core\, connected to food. Fortunately\, there is an antidote. Waters argues that by eating in a “slow food way\,” each of us–like the community around her restaurant–can be empowered to prioritize and nurture a different kind of culture\, one that champions values such as biodiversity\, seasonality\, stewardship\, and pleasure in work. \nThis is a declaration of action against fast food values\, and a working theory about what we can do to change the course. As Waters makes clear\, every decision we make about what we put in our mouths affects not only our bodies but also the world at large–our families\, our communities\, and our environment. We have the power to choose what we eat\, and we have the potential for individual and global transformation–simply by shifting our relationship to food. All it takes is a taste. \n“In this warm\, passionate and very personal book Alice Waters lays out a stunningly convincing case for changing the way we eat. No jargon\, no big words\, just Alice walking about all the things that matter most to her. I’m going to give this book to everyone I love.” — Ruth Reichl\, author of Save Me the Plums \nAlice Waters is the executive chef\, founder\, and owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley\, California. As the vice president of Slow Food International\, founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project\, and the winner of numerous awards\, including three James Beard Awards and the National Humanities Medal\, she has helped bring food awareness to people all over the world.

SUMMARY:Undiscovered Shakespeare: Troilus and Cressida - PT 1
DESCRIPTION:This three-part virtual reading of one of Shakespeare’s most unusual tragedies continues the “Undiscovered Shakespeare” collaboration between Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, The Humanities Institute\, and The Shakespeare Workshop. Join us as we read through this play episodically on Zoom\, and dig into the text with lectures from scholars and conversations with the cast. Swinging wildly between bawdy comedy\, epic history\, and tragic romance\, Troilus and Cressida plays about against the backdrop of the Trojan War. With its examinations of honor\, fidelity\, pretension\, romance\, and war\, this is a play that Joyce Carol Oates described as an “implicit debate between what is essential in human life and what is only existential.” \n \nSchedule: The three sessions will last approximately two hours (including an intermission) and will begin at 6:30pm PST. \nSessions are free to the public\, and participants are not obligated to attend every meeting of the program. Video of the episodes will be available once each airs and all will remain available until one week after the final episode. \n*Participants reading along should expect for the first meeting about each play to cover acts one and two; the second meeting to cover acts three and four; and the third meeting to cover act five. \nJune 9\, 16\, and 23: Troilus and Cressida with guest scholar Catherine Nicholson (Yale). \nPlay Synopsis: In the latter years of the Trojan War\, Prince Troilus\, the youngest son of King Priam\, is having difficulty on the battlefield because he is in love with a woman named Cressida. He solicits her uncle to help him win her\, and despite her misgivings\, Cressida gives in to her feelings and agrees to the match. Soon after\, however\, she is given to the Greeks in exchange for a Trojan prisoner of war. In the Greek camp\, Troilus spies on her exchanging flirtations with a Greek soldier\, Diomedes\, and disavows her faithlessness\, promising revenge. Meanwhile\, Hector\, the champion of the Trojans\, seeks a one-on-one challenge with a Greek champion. The Greeks seek to convince Achilles to fight Hector after their champion Ajax makes peace with Hector. At first\, Achilles refuses. When Hector kills his protégé Patroclus\, however\, Achilles returns to battlefield\, captures Hector\, and has him killed. The outcome of the war remains undecided. \nTexts available from Folger Shakespeare Library at: https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-works/ \nUndiscovered Shakespeare is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for an online staged reading and discussion of works that do not have a prominent place in the repertoire of modern theater companies. In Troilus and Cressida\, Shakespeare explores the legend of the Fall of Troy from the perspective of an adolescent love affair. In the process\, he also scrutinizes the ideals of heroism\, honor\, faithfulness\, love\, and duty that his era derived from Homer’s story.

SUMMARY:The Pickwick Book Club: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
DESCRIPTION:The Pickwick Book Club is a community of local bookworms\, students\, and teachers who meet monthly to discuss a nineteenth-century novel. Perhaps the best known and most widely beloved of Dickens’s works\, A Christmas Carol is the story of one man’s conversion from miserly misanthropy to a belief in the goodness of mankind and an acceptance of his place in the larger human community. Set against a background of social and economic distress during the “hungry ‘forties” in England\, the Carol is at once an indictment of economic individualism and a powerful exploration of dreams\, memory\, and the importance of self-reflection. \n \nFor more information about this event\, please visit: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/pickwick-club/index.html
