University food service increasingly treats international variety as both an educational and marketing virtue. There is nothing inherently wrong with variety in fair measure. Yet an outsized emphasis on cuisines outside American and Anglosphere traditions can cause universities to neglect the foodways of the very nation and institutions that have attracted generations of international students.
Food is part of the inheritance of an educational settlement. Regional American cooking, the English ploughman’s lunch, Canadian breads and preserves, Australian meat pies and the ordinary dishes of Scotland, Wales and Ireland carry histories of agriculture, climate, season and family life. They deserve a place beside newer arrivals.
Universities need not choose between hospitality and inheritance. A generous table can accommodate both. Indeed, international students may reasonably expect to encounter the distinctive food traditions of their host country. Cosmopolitanism is most interesting when cultures remain recognizable. University kitchens can welcome the world without forgetting the food already at home.
I’m so excited to share that I will be joining the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Neurology as a Neuropsychologist this fall, with a special focus on neuro-oncology and epilepsy! #OnWisconsinpic.twitter.com/JuS1Von6AB
Ian’s Pizza began on Halloween night in 2001, when founder Ian Gurfield opened the original shop at 319 North Frances Street in the heart of the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. Students quickly made the late-night, pizza-by-the-slice shop a campus institution. Ian’s became particularly known for inventive combinations, including its Mac n’ Cheese pizza, created in Madison that same year. From that first university storefront, Ian’s expanded across Madison and into Milwaukee, Verona and Cedar Rapids. More than two decades later, the original Frances Street shop remains closely identified with Wisconsin student life, game days and Madison’s downtown culture.
The cool parts of this job are the facilities I see – even the UWNR that I’ve operated before and still have labs to take with!!! pic.twitter.com/YCoNqV8gkJ
The Great Lakes contain enough fresh water to cover the land area of the entire United States under 3 meters of water.
We collect 15 video presentations about Great Lake water safety and sustainability prepared by the 8 Great Lake border state colleges and universities and their national and international partners in Canada.
In a state whose land mass was formed by glaciers, has there been climate change in its 10,000 – 15,000 year past? Did the glaciers melt because of sport utility vehicles made in Detroit? We refer you to the Academy of Projectors described in Book Three of Jonathan Swift’s 1726 satire on academia in “Gulliver’s Travels”
When the wicked problems of peace and economic inequality cannot be solved, political leaders, and the battalions of servile administrative muckety-mucks who report to them, resort to fear-mongering about an imagined problem to be solved centuries hence assuming every other nation agrees on remedies of its anthropogenic origin. We would not draw attention to it were it not that large tranches of the global academic community are in on the grift costing hundreds of billions in square-footage for research and teaching hopelessness to our children and hatred of climate change deniers.
Before the internet is scrubbed of information contrary to climate change mania, we recommend a few titles:
