Reading at the Table: Glazed America
When: Thursday, February 11, 2010 | 11:30 AM-01:00 PM Where: Faculty Club | |
Featuring Paul Mullins, "Glazed America: The History of the Doughnut"
Paul Mullins turns his attention to the simple doughnut in order to learn more about North American culture and society. Both a breakfast staple and a snack to eat any time of day or night, doughnuts cross lines of gender, class, and race like no other food item. Favorite doughnut shops that were once neighborhood institutions remain unchanged--even as their surrounding neighborhoods have morphed into strip clubs, empty lots, and abandoned housing. Blending solid scholarship with humorous insights, Mullins offers a look into doughnut production, marketing, and consumption. He confronts head-on the question of why we often paint doughnuts in moral terms, and shows how the seemingly simple food reveals deep and complex social conflicts over body image and class structure.

The Center aims at increasing awareness and understanding of the diversity of American religious life and the manifold forms in which religion reveals itself in culture. By placing Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and non-mainstream beliefs, behaviors, and rituals together in fashioning an analysis of American religion, the Center has helped increase scholarly and public understandings of the diversity of the American religious experience and established entirely new views from which to study religion in America.

Reading at the Table: To Live upon Hope
When: Thursday, April 08, 2010 | 11:30 AM-01:00 PM Where: Faculty Club | |
Rachel Wheeler, "To Live upon Hope: Mohicans and Missionaries in the Eighteenth-centurey Northeast"
Through extensive research, especially in the Moravian records of day-to-day life, Rachel Wheeler offers an understanding of the lived experience of Mohican communities under colonialism. She complicates the understanding of eighteenth-century American Christianity by demonstrating that mission programs were not always driven by the destruction of indigenous culture and the advancement of imperial projects. In To Live upon Hope, Wheeler challenges the prevailing view of accommodation or resistance as the two poles of Indian responses to European colonization; colonialism placed severe strains on native peoples, yet Indians also exercised a level of agency and creativity that aided in their survival.She systematically employs the rich German-language Moravian archive to study New England Indian history. This path-breaking use of sources and Wheeler's fine-grained analysis of the differing Moravian and Congregationalist priorities are major achievements.

Findings illustrate why many African circumcised women migrants feel marginalized globally by the very human rights policies that were designed to protect them.
