Course Description: Using CIA maps from a university's former document repository, along with select slides as appropriate, this discussion
group will explore the impact of geography on politics and history.
Examples may include consideration of China's takeover and militarization of islands in the South China Sea; the
legacy of colonialism in contemporary Africa and the Middle East; and the potential impacts of sea level rise around the
world.
While each session will focus on a specific area of the world, some basic geographer's tools (reviewing latitude and
longitude, reading a map, and understanding winds and ocean currents) will also be covered for context.

Course Description: Can UVA get to the ACC football championship game in 2019 by winning the Coastal Division? Is this the year UVA
finally takes down Tech? Will Clemson bring the ACC another national championship? If not Clemson, who? What's the
best conference from top to bottom? So many questions. We'll tackle all of them and more. The only thing you need is
your love for college football. A perusal of one of the preseason publications - Street & Smith's, Athlon, Lindy's, Phil
Steele - would be helpful, but not necessary. Join us to talk college football.

Course Description: Most of us are amateur philosophers in the sense that we have all adopted a variety of basic philosophical precepts, often
unknowingly. We simply accept them as right, good, appropriate, and better than the alternatives, based on our education, religion, heritage, and nationality. Many philosophies carry significant themes that might designate them as political,
religious, epistemological, historical, or even racial. Nonetheless, there are several philosophical concepts that seem to be
universal in all cultures, languages and historical settings. These six are: TRUTH, GOODNESS, BEAUTY, LIBERTY,
EQUALITY, AND JUSTICE. This OLLI discussion group will center on these six concepts and follow Mortimer Adler's
1981 book Six Great Ideas. This will be a discussion group with little or no didactic content.
