Behind the Book
Caltech Public Programming is excited to announce our new series, Behind the Book.
Join us in conversation with authors who explore the intersection of arts, science, and society through the lens of their family histories.
These events will be free to attend; reservations open in January 2021.

Author of Aaron McDuffie Moore: An African American Physician, Educator, and Founder of Durham's Black Wall Street
Blake Hill-Saya is a classical musician and creative writer living in Los Angeles. Born the biracial child of two literature professors, her love affair with books began at age four when her father found her reading one to herself out loud and upside down. She is the CEO of Tenacity Communications in Los Angeles.

Date and time TBD
Author of Finding the Right Words: Alzheimer's, Literature, Science
Cindy Weinstein is Eli and Edythe Broad Professor of English and Vice Provost at Caltech, and serves as the Institute's Chief Diversity Officer. Her academic work is informed by the notion that literature and the interpretive tools of literary criticism contribute to an understanding of the world outside of literature.
