About I Hear Purple

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am attempting to record my encounters with the five senses.

In the fall of 2008, I took a seminar – aptly named “Food for Thought” – exploring the anthropological, autobiographical connections people have with their meals, and that influence on society, politics, economics, environment, and psychology. I began to share those thoughts (often in the form of our many class writing assignments!) as well as broader reflections on my other interests.

Besides my food-related musings, I include my experiences and sightings of varied sensory gems: creative writing, dance, fine arts, concerts, theater, & other mediums of performance and forms of beauty, capitalizing on the treasures of Washington D.C., Georgetown University, my hometown in California, and elsewhere. These things were meant to be shared!

Everything here is my intellectual property (writings, photos, etc.) unless otherwise credited to other sources. Please do not take without my permission. If I failed to cite something of yours properly, let me know and I will sort it out promptly. Thank you!
