Got to take the show on the road (across the Charles) to Harvard last night! An audience member brought in Tanzanian vanilla for us all to smell and take away with us. A great complement to a discussion focusing on vanilla's larger abstraction as a racial signifier.
An image that contains a powerpoint preview of three slides from the talk: the first, a title slide with Claire's name and talk title; the second, a side-by-side of Breyer's French vanilla ice cream and Vanilla ice with the caption "How it Started" and "How It's Going"; and the third slide features a bucket of white paint alongside vanilla ice cream next to a copy of Ralph Ellison's book Invisible Man. A photo of a white woman with brown hair and wearing glasses outside of the Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University.
