Hello and thank you for viewing Harvard@Home. As you requested, this e-mail serves to notify you that the Harvard@Home programs, "A Conversation with Mira Nair," "Gender and Race: Together at Last?" and "Hasty Pudding Awards" have been released. A Conversation with Mira Nair In a candid conversation with actor John Lithgow '67 on the stage of Sanders Theatre, acclaimed film director Mira Nair '79, winner of the ninth annual Harvard Arts Medal, recounts her creative journey. From her early days in political theater and directing award-winning documentaries, through her remarkable feature debut with Salaam Bombay! and her first forays in Hollywood, to the celebrated "Monsoon Wedding," the epic "Vanity Fair," and her plans to establish an international program for young filmmakers, Nair reveals the ideas and the experiences that have fueled her work and her search to capture "the extraordinariness of everyday life." http://athome.harvard.edu/dh/cmn.html Gender and Race: Together at Last? Marking the 60th anniversary of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study's Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, this all-day conference focuses on the conjunction of gender and race and how it has shaped our understandings of slavery, class stratifications, and America itself. Noted black women historians describe their endeavors to "bridge the chasm" between African American studies and women's studies and to overcome their own "marginalization" in academia. http://athome.harvard.edu/dh/gar.html Hasty Pudding Awards This year's Hasty Pudding Awards go to actress Sandra Bullock and actor Robert Downey Jr. This program features video highlights from the raucous parade, roast, Pudding Pot presentation ceremony, and interviews afterward where the recipients reflect on joining the ranks of those who have made a "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment." http://athome.harvard.edu/dh/hp4.html -------------------------------------------------------------- Harvard@Home is available to the public at: http://athome.harvard.edu * Would you like to be removed from the Harvard@Home update list?
