I haven't made dinner in a few days because I keep finding myself at events with free food. Last night I attended a lecture given by world-renowned anthropologist Arjun Appadurai on the subject of "Housing and Hope". Tonight I went to a screening of a film called "Encounter Point" about a project of reconciliation between bereaved Israeli and Palestinian parents. Both events were incredibly thought-provoking, inspiring, and nourishing for both my mind and my body. Okay, maybe less so for my body, who probably does not appreciate my consumption of countless samoosas, but all in all my forays into extracurricular academic occasions have been positive.
