For the month of July I’ve been running a series on ice cream with all kinds of historical and cultural angles from different regions of the United States and the world. In the process of doing the research I’ve learned allot and look forward to sharing my findings as a lectured filled with the many great historical images I found. When you focus in on one topic and keep peeling away the layers you can really learn all of new information. Ice cream provides a lens into different cultures and societies. It also provides insights into class and gender differences as it relates to the space and place where and how ice cream is made, sold, and consumed.  For example, I came across a really interesting story done on NPR about ice cream in Jalabad, Afghanistan. Below I have provided a link to the story, related, recipes, and a link to my series on ice cream which also have lots of recipes and history.
