Asst. Prof. Simeon Chavel speaks at the Divinity School's Wednesday Lunch series with the lecture, "The Art of FingerPointing Between Assyrian Kings and Their Gods." Wednesday Lunch is a decadesold Divinity School tradition. Midday on Wednesdays when the quarter is in session, a student chef and lunch crew prepare a vegetarian meal and serve it while guests listen to a talk, usually by a University faculty member or a community organization representative. All are welcome (you do not have to be affiliated with the Divinity School or even the University).

Sometimes these talks focus on various aspects of religion in public life or the academic study of religion, but topics have addressed everything from halal cooking to the germ biome to birds in ancient Egypt to language loss in Siberia to empathy in rats. Sit at any table and join the conversation: the programs provide a unique opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to engage one another.
