Carol Helstosky, the University of Denver historian and food scholar who will be giving the talk, wrote the book Pizza: A Global History and has devoted a substantial portion of her career to studying modern Italy and the cuisine of that region.

The ingredients for her talk will include history, geography, culinary science, and some interesting business lessons offered by the stories of globally successful pizza chains.

Those whose fondest memories of college include ordering pizza delivery to their dorms probably will end up wishing they’d had Professor Helstosky for a class. With several pizzas on Woodie Fisher’s menu, any cravings arising from the talk should be fairly easy to satisfy.

Advance tickets: $13.50 (plus processing fees). You can .

Tickets at the door are $17, or $15 with student ID. (Note: Admission does not include pizza or drinks.)

Pizza in roughly the form we know it today started as an inexpensive and filling meal for sailors and dock workers in eighteenth-century Naples, Italy.

Visitors to the city regarded the pizza they encountered there as disgusting, but slowly and steadily pizza rose to become one of the world’s most popular foods, with chefs and consumers alike putting original spins on it.

Helstosky will start by looking at pizza’s “origin myths,” debunking many of them.

From there, she will take you on a culinary journey through space and time from old Italy to the United States and then on to far corners of the globe.

Explore pizza’s incredible success in a variety of geographic contexts, and learn about those individuals and communities who sometimes intentionally and sometimes unwittingly contributed to pizza’s popularity. You’ll get to know figures like Queen Margherita, for whom Pizza Margherita was named.

We’ll look at how and why pizza surged in popularity in the United States after World War II, and we’ll examine the origin stories of major U.S. pizza chains and the roles those chains played in spreading pizza around the world.

For pizza and history lovers, it will be a talk with everything.

You may have heard of One Day University, or even attended one of its events. Pre-pandemic, the organization hosted wildly popular seminars in 61 cities around the country — including Denver!

Like other institutions of higher learning, One Day U has decided to go virtual so that everyone can “attend” fascinating lectures by professors from Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Cornell, and dozens of other schools.

Here’s how it works. Every weekday at 2 p.m. MST, One Day U live streams a brand new one hour talk featuring one of more than 200 engaging professors. They are open to all members — no advance registration required. Anyone with a computer or tablet can participate.

Here’s a video snippet of a talk by Professor Catherine Anderson of Amherst College on Understanding Intelligence.

During a live talk, attendees can enter questions at any point in a “Chatroll” box on their screen. Then, the professor goes through and addresses all questions in the last 15 minutes of the talk.

One Day U sends out an email to members every Sunday called the “Weekend Scholar” with a schedule of the week’s upcoming talks and direct links to view, so members can add the week’s talks to their calendar.

Just visit the website and click “upcoming talks,” or click on a talk in the “Weekend Scholar” email when it is time to stream.

One Day University has a reputation for unique, interesting, eclectic topics, with a diverse lineup of talks: The Science of Happiness; The Worst Supreme Court Decisions; Women in Comedy; Beethoven and the Beatles; and Why Art Matters will all stream live this spring.

Missed a live talk? No worries! Membership also includes access to a searchable video library of past 500+ talks on topics including history, art, politics, psychology, literature, film, science, and much more.

Among the most popular:

• Hamilton vs. Jefferson: The Rivalry that Shaped America | Louis Masur, Rutgers University
• What We Know About the Brain | Jessica Payne, University of Notre Dame
• The Musical Genius of Frank Sinatra | Anna Celenza, Georgetown University
• The Presidential Library: Books that shaped Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR and More | Joseph Luzzi, Bard College
• Four Paintings Every Art Lover Should See | Tina Rivers Ryan, Albright-Knox Art Gallery (formerly Columbia University)
• Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness | Catherine Sanderson, Amherst College
• Four Films that Changed America | Marc Lapadula, Yale University

Members can access all of these plus hundreds more in .

One Day University is perfect for lifelong learners of all ages. You don’t need a college degree, just a curious mind who likes to dig in to a variety of topics and issues.

While the One Day U professors hail from prestigious universities, they are also experts in making their subject matter accessible to learners of any level.

Talks are just 50-minutes, with no homework or tests (woo-hoo!), and designed to be enjoyed without a background knowledge in the subject matter.

If you did attend One Day University in Denver, you may have paid $100 or more. Now you can “enroll” for just $8.95 per month or $89 if you pay for the entire year in advance. It doesn’t take a math whiz to know that calculates to about 30¢ per day.

Not only can you participate in new live streamed lectures five days a week, but you get unlimited access to the video library.

Right now, One Day University is offering a two-week free trial to anyone who signs up for a membership, but you can . After that, it’s just $8.95/month of $89/year. It’s a lot cheaper than college tuition — and maybe you’ll learn more, too!
