Resident Spotlight: Waleed Zaghlol
I'm Waleed from one of the most crowded, busy, and beautiful cities in the world:
Cairo, Egypt. I study Economics at Cairo University. I like sports, cooking, open
air activities, and learning languages. I was admitted to UChicago as part of the
Sawiras scholarship program. I like the surrounding intellectual environment,
and the people with great ambition here at UChicago. I like I-House as it
introduced me to some great people and diverse ideas. One of the best things I
like at the I-House is cooking and sharing recipes in the Community Kitchen.
Also, the ice cream social is something no one can say no to.

pasta. Double
chocolate
cheesecake. In
today's
consumerist
society, foods are often gendered for
marketing purposes. In South Korea,
where traditional gender roles occupy a
prominent place in culture, "manly" and
"girly" food makes a great iFocus lens for
understanding modern Korean culture
and present gender issues. How did
pasta and coffee change femininity in
Korea? And what are the implications of
being a "foodie" in a country obsessed
with beauty and weight loss? Find out in
the next iFocus presentation with
Doyoung Lim.
