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. 

Blake Hill-Saya
BLAKE HILL-SAYA
Monday, February 1, 2020 at 5 p.m.

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.

CINDY WEINSTEIN
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. Finding the Right Words is being published by Johns Hopkins Press in 2021.
