This month's episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast uncorks the fascinating intersection of wine, judgment, and data science. Economist and wine expert Orley Ashenfelter and Master of Wine Susan Lin join us to explore the enduring legacy of the 1976 “Judgment of Paris,” the blind tasting that reshaped perceptions of wine quality and transformed the global wine industry. From statistical analysis of wine rankings to the psychology of taste perception, the conversation examines how experts evaluate wine and why even trained judges often disagree. Ashenfelter reflects on decades of wine tasting data and the role of probability, humility, and climate modeling in understanding wine quality, while Lin shares insights from her groundbreaking research on how music influences the perception of champagne. Together, they explore the complex relationship between sensory experience, human judgment, and data, revealing that wine may be as much about context, memory, and emotion as it is about chemistry and statistics. Our guests: Orley Ashenfelter is the Joseph Douglas Green 1895 Professor of Economics at Princeton University, transferred to emeritus status in 2024. Orley is known for his seminal research in labor economics, econometrics, and law and economics Susan R. Lin is a Master of Wine and a Master of Fine Arts in Classical Piano and Musicology. She creates memorable experiences through music and wine.

Episode 231: Réflexions sur l'étude des musiques citadines maghrébines Dans ce podcast, Jonathan Glasser souligne que l'étude des musiques citadines en Algérie est plus ancienne qu'on ne le pense généralement. Il y retrace son propre parcours intellectuel, depuis sa première étude approfondie de la musique andalouse en tant que pratique sociale jusqu'à son projet de livre actuel consacré aux relations entre musulmans et juifs dans le domaine musical. Ce faisant, il situe son propre travail dans le cadre d'une longue histoire d'écrits sur les pratiques musicales citadines en Algérie, tant par des Algériens que par des étrangers, depuis les périodes médiévale et ottomane, en passant par la période de la domination coloniale française jusqu'à l'époque actuelle, six décennies après l'indépendance de l'Algérie. Il conclut en soulignant les sources sous-exploitées pour l'étude de la période moderne, qui promettent d'élargir notre perception de l'histoire des pratiques musicales citadines algériennes. Jonathan Glasser est professeur agrégé d'anthropologie à l'université William & Mary de Williamsburg, en Virginie. Il est l'auteur de l'ouvrage The Lost Paradise : Andalusi Music in Urban North Africa (University of Chicago Press, 2016), qui a remporté le prix L. Carl Brown Book Prize de l'American Institute for Maghrib Studies et le prix Mahmoud Guettat International Prize in Musicology du Ministère tunisien des Affaires culturelles. Plusieurs de ses travaux ont été publiés dans l'International Journal of Middle East Studies, l'American Ethnologist, l'Anthropological Quarterly, Hespéris-Tamuda et Turath. Glasser a récemment terminé un manuscrit intitulé More Than Friends : Muslim-Jewish Intimacy in Algerian Music (Plus que des amis : l'intimité entre musulmans et juifs dans la musique algérienne). Cet épisode a été enregistré le 15 décembre 2024 et s'inscrit dans le cadre de la journée d'étude « Chants et musiques d'Algérie : un fait social », organisée conjointement par Centre d'Études Maghrébines en Algérie (CEMA) et le Centre de Recherche en Anthropologie Sociale et Culturelle (CRASC). Pr. Karim Ouaras, Université d'Oran 2 / CEMA a modéré le débat. * Podcast en relation: Épisode 214 : Jonathan Glasser : Introduction à la journée d'études « Chants et musiques d'Algérie : un fait social » Épisode 217 : Lamia Fardeheb : L'évolution de la poésie andalouse du Muashshah au Zajal : deux genres de poésie chantés dans la « Nouba » Episode 221: Abdelouahab Belgherras: السماع والمديح في التقليد الصوفي المغاربي بين الروحانية والجمالية Episode 226: Azedine Kinzi: Musique kabyle traditionnelle : Genre, contexte de production et renouvellement Nous remercions Dr. Jonathan Glasser, anthropologue au College of William & Mary, pour son istikhbar in sika à l'alto pour l'introduction et la conclusion de ce podcast.
