Today we will be discussing the importance of recipes in the continuation of family heritage. Using food as a means to bridge generations one to another, we hope this discussion will inspire you to head back to the family dinner table to hear from one another, learn about your past, and figure out where you fit in the bigger story of your family's future.    One mentioned podcast episode we referred back to is "Southern Cookbooks." Link to that episode here: https://steelmagnoliaspodcast.com/episode/southern-cookbooks   We appreciate The University of Tennessee for inviting us to share this message at Alumni College this summer.    ________________ Stay Connected: Subscribe to our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e3cef217a5e7/sweetnews Text a friend with a link to the show https://pod.link/1442852139 Support this Show: https://tr.ee/9NKBLc2fYD  

On this final episode of our first season, we conclude our ongoing discussion with this year's Alumni College Fellows by considering the new perspectives their research offers on the texture of everyday life.  We hear from Dr. Heather Warren-Crow, media theorist, interdisciplinary artist, and Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts, as she leads us through the history of singing ATMS; Dr. Scott Weedon, Assistant Professor of Technical Communication and Rhetoric, who speaks with us about popular beliefs about science and their broader implications; and Dr. Justin Tosi, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, who advises why, in these ever contentious times, it might just be all right to mind our own business.

On this episode, we continue visiting with our 2020-2021 Alumni College Fellows as they lead us in conversation on the relationship between who we are, how much freedom we possess, and the cultures we navigate in establishing either of the two.  We hear from Dr. Dale Kretz, Assistant Professor of History, who discusses African Americans' engagement with the federal government after the Civil War; Dr. Lesley Wolff, Assistant Professor of Latinx and Latin American Art History, who speaks with us about foodways and indigeneity in post-revolutionary Mexico City; and Dr. Alan Barenberg, Buena Vista Foundation Associate Professor of History, who talks about his current research on the Soviet government's punitive use of hard labor beginning in the 1940s.

On this episode, we reflect on creativity in its worldly context as we continue to visit with the Humanities Center’s most recent cohort of Alumni College fellows.   Our topic is New Perspectives on Art, Aesthetics, and the World at Large, and our guests are Dr. Ali Duffy,  Associate Professor of Dance and Founder and Artistic Director of the Flatlands Dance Theatre, Dr. Michael Jordan, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, and Dr. Matthew Hunter, an Assistant Professor of English who focuses on poetry and drama of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.  We also check in with Yerko Sepulveda, a specialist in Spanish Linguistics with the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures.   Yerko was the first student the Humanities Center selected to represent Texas Tech at the National Humanities Center's graduate student summer residency last year.

As we come back from winter break, we begin a new sequence of episodes featuring the research of our 2020-2021 Alumni College Fellows. Between now and May, we have arranged our twelve scholars into four audio panels, all speaking under the broad banner “New Perspectives on…” For our February installment, the topic is “New Perspectives on History and Society,” and we hear from historian Richard Lutjens on "ordinary crime" in Nazi Germany, sociologist Ori Swed on drone technology and violent non-state actors, and musicologist Virginia E. Whealton on nineteenth-century musical culture in Norfolk, Virginia.
