SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series: The Bittersweet History of Chocolate: What Makes Chocolate Good? with Carla D. Martin
DESCRIPTION:Carla D. Martin – November 21\, 2026 8 p.m. \n \nSocial anthropologist Dr. Carla D. Martin will trace the bittersweet history of chocolate — from Mayan temples\, to the Transatlantic Slave Trade\, to the rise of iconic brands like Hershey’s and Nestlé\, to grueling labor on cocoa farms today. For centuries\, the interests of U.S. and European chocolate makers have often diverged from those of cocoa farmers and producers. As she examines the cocoa-chocolate industry\, Martin highlights the often-conflicting goals that create gaps in social and environmental responsibility. Many artisanal chocolate makers today market the social values underlying their production. When it comes to chocolate\, good taste is paramount\, but how do we measure its social goodness\, and what value does this add for consumers? \nCarla D. Martin is Lecturer and Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies in Harvard University’s Department of African and African American Studies and Founder and Board President of the nonprofit Institute for Cacao and Chocolate Research. She has published in numerous academic journals\, most recently on the ethics of labor in cocoa and chocolate. Martin has received awards for excellence in teaching and research\, and her public scholarship has been featured by the National Park Service\, Harvard Museums\, and National Public Radio. Her work brings her into community with workers at cocoa farms and chocolate factories worldwide. A chocolate tasting will follow the talk. \nAN ANNUAL SERIES OF FREE LECTURES IN LEXINGTON 2026-2027\nHosted by the Cary Lecture Committee: Monica Galizzi\, Rita Goldberg\, Meryl Loonin\, Kevin Oye\nCo-sponsored by Cary Library \nVisit carylectureseries.org for more details about our speakers and to sign up to receive reminders about our upcoming lectures. \n

SUMMARY:Floyd's Row to perform at Harmony on the Green on March 13th
DESCRIPTION:Harmony on the Green Coffeehouse Concerts welcomes the critically acclaimed and incredibly eclectic Floyd’s Row to our 5th season! \nFrom traditional English music to early music to Dylan tunes\, the eclectic Floyd’s Row performs a unique concert drawing from English tradition to create a new sound that is all their own. Founded in 2012 in Oxford\, UK by Chris Ferebee (mandolin\, guitar & cittern)\, Alistair Anderson (English concertina & Northumbrian pipes)\, Andrew Arceci (viola da gamba & double bass)\, Floyds Row has developed into a folk-classical collective\, pulling from early\, folk\, and classical idioms. What began as an Oxford-based project has blossomed into a touring ensemble on notable stages across the UK and U.S.\, with a critically appreciated album that merges chamber elegance with folk resonance. The name “Floyds Row” comes from a historic street in Oxford that runs beside the Faculty of Music of the University of Oxford. \nOur concerts are still just $25 (plus ticketing fees) and have\, as always\, a “pay what you can” feature so that everyone can enjoy live music!

SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series: Why Women Won with Claudia Goldin
DESCRIPTION:Claudia Goldin – May 8\, 2027\, 8 p.m. \n \nProfessor Claudia Goldin was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labor market outcomes.” She will explore how we moved from a world in which discrimination against women was not recognized as an issue\, women were routinely and legally fired when they married or became pregnant\, and they often couldn’t get a credit card or legally keep their name — to the world we live in now\, however imperfect. Women won workplace and reproductive rights fifty years ago. But why have women never achieved equality in the workplace and equity in their homes\, and how can they in a politically fractured nation?  \nClaudia Goldin is the Samuel W. Morris University Professor and the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University. An economic historian and labor economist\, her research covers topics including the female labor force\, the gender gap in earnings\, income inequality\, technological change\, education\, and immigration. Most of her groundbreaking research interprets the present through the lens of the past and explores the origins of current issues of concern. She has held numerous positions in economics\, holds many honorary degrees\, and is the author of a variety of books and articles. The subject of this talk\, Why Women Won\, will also be the title of her upcoming book. Professor Goldin’s Nobel biography is a lively account of her life and interests: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2023/goldin/biographical/ \nAN ANNUAL SERIES OF FREE LECTURES IN LEXINGTON 2026-2027\nHosted by the Cary Lecture Committee: Monica Galizzi\, Rita Goldberg\, Meryl Loonin\, Kevin Oye\nCo-sponsored by Cary Library \nVisit carylectureseries.org for more details about our speakers and to sign up to receive reminders about our upcoming lectures. \n
