If Frank Bruni’s name is familiar, it could be because you’ve read his op-ed columns in the New York Times or his profiles in its Sunday magazine. Or you’ve perused his 2017 cookbook, A Meatloaf in Every Oven: Two Chatty Cooks, One Iconic Dish and Dozens of Recipes — From Mom’s to Mario Batali’s, cowritten with fellow Times journalist Jennifer Steinhauer. The award-winning writer brings his breadth of knowledge to a wide-ranging conversation on topics such as the effect of identity politics on campuses and communities and the importance of free speech. Bruni speaks as part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays speaker series. (Note the special date.)
