University Guild Program: Mmmmmmm….Chocolate!

Please
attend the University Guild program on Mmmmmmm….Chocolate! on  Monday, February 3, at 1:30 pm in the University Guild Lounge
in
Scott Hall, 601 University Place, on Northwestern University’s beautiful
campus.   



David
Letterman has joked that chocolate is one of the four major food groups. Most
people do love chocolate!  In this
program, we'll follow chocolate from the bud to the bar, from cocoa pods
growing in tropical rain forests to processing by modern machinery in
industrialized countries. We’ll see chocolate in Mayan and Aztec cultures where
it originated, and follow it to Europe and the rest of the world.  We’ll learn about different kinds of
chocolate and discuss its health benefits.

Next University Guild Program:  The
Role of ‘Warlords’ in U. S. Security Policy with Professor Will Reno,
Northwestern University, Political Science Department,



Monday, February
17, 2014, at 1:30 pm in Scott Hall, Guild Lounge.
  Why do armed groups
choose particular strategies? Recent scholarship identifies natural resources
as a major factor in creating incentives. 
Yet some armed groups mobilize these resources to provide protection to
communities, even as other groups in similar circumstances prey upon would-be
followers.  These divergent paths are important in considering how
U.S. officials engage with these groups and the roles that they play in
evolving U.S. policy.  Web site:  http://willreno.org/
