Annual Dinner & Tannenbaum Lecture
Each year, in late April, the University Seminars holds its Annual Dinner in the Faculty House at Columbia University. Following the dinner, an invited speaker delivers the annual Tannenbaum Lecture in memory of Frank Tannenbaum, the founder of the University Seminars.Ester Fuchs will give the Tannenbaum Lecture at our Annual Dinner on Wednesday, April 11. She returned to academia this year after four years of practical work in Mayor Bloomberg’s administration. She will describe what it is like when a professional political scientist suddenly has to work with professional politicians, the place and nature of rationality in both worlds, and the entire question of governability. It should be an exciting occasion.
At the Dinner, Harry R. Kissileff will receive the Tannenbaum-Warner Award for Service to the University Seminars. A long-time member and now Chair of the University Seminar on Appetitive Behavior, he brought his understanding of physiology into contact with the sociological, psychological, and other approaches needed for dealing with obesity, long before the medical and political communities recognized it as a national problem.
