- Chef Fadi Kattan
- 510 William Pitt Student Union
Chef Fadi Kattan grew up in Bethlehem where he inherited his love of food from his maternal grandmother. Fadi's cuisine and savoir faire combine worldly influences, a desire for perfection and a passion for sharing the stories of the local foragers, gardeners, farmers and cooks that have shaped the culinary heritage of Palestine.
Fadi speaks on various platforms of Palestine's rich culinary heritage, the importance of terroir, the role of cuisine as a diffusor of culture.
The discussion to follow Kattan’s talk will be co-moderated by:
Dr. Nevine Abraham, Assistant Teaching Professor of Arabic Studies, CMU
Dr. Amani Attia, Teaching Professor of Arabic and Arabic Language Program Coordinator, Pitt

The Alliance for Learning in World History is accepting applications for a Workshop for Educators to be held during the World History Association’s Annual Conference at the University of Pittsburgh. The two-day professional development workshop is sponsored by the Alliance for Learning in World History (ALWH) and the World History Center at the University of Pittsburgh. The Alliance will cover the conference registration fee, the cost of joining the WHA, and apartment-style dorm housing on the University of Pittsburgh campus for two nights. Accepted participants will also receive a $250 stipend at the end of the conference. This stipend is intended to defray the costs of travel to Pittsburgh.
Applications are welcome from educators at all levels who would like to explore how to teach and talk about "energies" in their classroom. The theme of Energies is intended to include the widest range of topics and geographic locales, ranging from energy technologies (from muscle power to solar cells), to energy and globalization, to teaching in a time of climate change, and even to energy as a metaphor for charisma or other social dynamics.
Applications are due January 20! For more information, visit worldhistory.pitt.edu or contact alwh@pitt.edu.
