• Pepper, Salt, Empire: How the Spice Trade Made the World Modern with Eric Tagliacozzo

  • When
    26 Sep 2020
  •  
    12:00 PM - 1:30 PM (PDT)

  People would kill for the spices in your kitchen, and they once did. What we view as commonplace seasonings like pepper and cinnamon were once the most luxurious items known to humans. For centuries, these spices were sought after by many civilizations. This quest for control of the Spice Trade brought the world together and also ripped it apart.
  

  Join award-winning Cornell University Professor Eric Tagliacozzo for this talk about humanity's millennials-long yearning for the spices of Asia. From the ancient world to Marco Polo to the spice clippers of the nineteenth century, he will explore how spices brought the world into a singular embrace and also made it unequal for the rest of time.

  Professor Tagliacozzo is both a renowned scholar and a charismatic speaker. He is the Director of the Comparative Muslim Societies Program at Cornell and Cornell’s Modern Indonesia Project (CMIP), as well as editor of the journal INDONESIA. In 2016, he won Cornell’s Russell Distinguished Teaching Award.

  Cornell Engineering Student Project Teams mimic real-world engineering by bringing Cornell students, faculty, and staff together to solve complex problems in team-based settings. Project Teams provide students with a rich, multidisciplinary experience, working in diverse teams to tackle challenging, real-world problems. Many of our teams compete regionally, nationally, and internationally in engineering design and build competitions, others work with local and global community partners or develop open-source apps and data-driven solutions. And if you look below the surface, our teams include students who specialize in a huge variety of technical challenges but also business, fundraising, operations, and logistics. Join Lauren Stulgis, Swanson Director of Student Project Teams, and student leaders from several of the teams, to learn more about this unique Cornell program. 

  Student Project Teams will be announced closer to the event.

  At a time for people are consuming content at unprecedented rates, the way in which content is being created has shifted dramatically. New safety protocols have changed both what stories can be told, as well  as how they can be told. Will big blockbusters have to take a backseat to indy stories, allowing smaller films to flourish?
