Course Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the global oil supply while the current economic downturn has caused overall fossil energy demand to plunge. Millions of barrels of oil are at sea in tankers with no place to go. Natural gas continues to replace coal, but gas rig counts have cratered (-46% in October), and many small and mid-size US energy producers are on the verge of consolidation or bankruptcy. US wind and solar electricity supply surpassed coal generation during a three-day period the week of April 8, 2020 for the first time ever, while climate change issues have dropped into an election maelstrom. Serious wildfire and tropical storm frequency are at record levels. The air briefly cleared in major cities around the world, and the drop in carbon dioxide emissions was substantial but not sustainable.
Meanwhile, Europe is developing unprecedented storage infrastructure to avoid carbon dioxide emissions while the US lags. New US electric vehicle mandates and grid battery storage requirements portend unprecedented metals demand, but virtually none of this mining occurs in the US. This course will look at energy outcomes unimaginable prior to COVID-19, and will examine key 2020 events, likely new trends, and potential policy outcomes from the November 2020 election.

Course Description: Ever wonder why people are the way they are? Or why you are? Well, come find out! In six sessions we will learn about our brains, our behavior, our feelings, our thoughts, and how these develop over time and relate to others in our social spheres. The purpose of the course is to find out about basic normal human mental functions. Although throughout we will touch on mental illness, this is not a class in how to "fix” anything, but rather to get some understanding of how whatever might be wrong, happened.

Course Description: Americans are tired of politics as usual. We yearn for statesmanship - for leaders concerned about the next generation, not just the next election. This course focuses on five leaders at turning points in America’s history. We'll explore Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, George Washington's Farewell Address, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from the Birmingham Jail, Susan B. Anthony’s Statement at her trial for voting, and Gerald Ford's assumption of the presidency and pardon of Richard Nixon. In each class, we'll explore the leader’s words and deeds and look for lessons about leadership and statesmanship not just for their times but in ours.

Course Description: We will explore sea pirates in early history, then focus on the "Golden Age of piracy" (from the late 1600s to about 1730). Finally, we will talk about how pirates have changed over the centuries and the threats they still pose to today's maritime commerce. You will find out what the life of a pirate on the high seas was really like, and we will highlight some famous pirates such as Blackbeard, “Calico Jack” Rackham, Captain (Henry) Morgan, and Captain Kidd. We will also talk about women in piracy and government-sponsored pirates and will conclude by discussing the most successful pirate of all--not who you think. NOTE: suggested reading: 1. Under the Black Flag, by David Cordingly. 2. Pirates: Terror On the High Seas From the Caribbean to the South China Sea, ed. David Cordingly 3. Pirates: Scourge of the Seas, by John Reeve Carpenter.

Course Description: From 1809 to 1819, when Thomas Jefferson was developing his vision for a new form of public higher education in Virginia, he and the other men he worked with to bring that idea to reality did so in the single largest slaveholding state in the United States. All of the men involved were large slaveholders. Through 1865, Virginia remained home to more enslaved people than any other state. Enslaved people made up thirty to forty percent of the state’s population continuously between 1790 and 1860. Likewise, Albemarle County, the site for what would become the University of Virginia, at the time construction on the University began was home to ten thousand enslaved people who constituted over half the county’s population. The state’s and UVA founders’ wealth, a product of human bondage, was vital to the birth of the school. Slavery, in every way imaginable, was central to the project of designing, funding, building, and maintaining the University of Virginia.
The slavery commission’s culminating effort of acknowledgement and atonement is the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers. Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage Site space north and east of the Rotunda, the Memorial sits in the midst of what were originally farm fields tilled and managed by enslaved people producing foodstuffs for students and faculty. The memorial’s design and location are deeply informed by a process of community engagement with students, faculty, staff, and neighbors in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. The location, within sight of the Rotunda and the UVA Corner, makes the memorial both highly visible and accessible. The memorial as well beautifully captures the tenor of those community conversations by creating a place for quiet reflection, learning, and gathering while powerfully acknowledging oppression and honoring the humanity and resistance of the enslaved. NOTE: Those enrolled in this course will be sent the link to Dr. von Daacke’s virtual tour of the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers, produced by Lifetime Learning, UVA’s Office of Engagement, and are encouraged to view the tour prior to the course.
Kirt von Daacke is Assistant Dean of Arts & Sciences and Associate Professor of History at the University of Virginia, where he is co-chair of the UVA President’s Commission on Slavery and the University, and of the President’s Commission on the University in the Age of Segregation. He is the author of two books and is currently working on Jefferson’s University: The Early Life Project, a major digital humanities project that he co-founded with art history professor Maurie McInnis. The project will create a comprehensive digital archive of early University records, will track persons, places, and events over time in the Academical Village, and ultimately, include a 3-D recreation of central Grounds before the Civil War. Dr. von Daacke earned his BA from the University of Virginia, and his MA and PhD from The Johns Hopkins University.

Course Description: This course can serve either as a continuation for members of the Fall 2020 class or as an introduction for new members to Emily Dickinson's extraordinary body of work. She wrote close to 1,800 poems -- almost all are worth our while and only a few from the earlier course will be repeated. By turns humorous, philosophical, or incandescently personal and emotional, her verses offer a cornucopia of close observations that are startling in their original content and formal ingenuity.

Course Description: It is hard to believe but this October Germany already gets to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Unification; the culmination of a process that started with the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989! With its rise on August 13th, 1961, the course of Germany’s and especially Berlin’s history took a tragic turn. It would take 28 years for this cruel and inhuman symbol of Germany’s division to come down, thus giving birth to yet another period in this European nation’s remarkable evolution. Join German Historian and Ex-Berliner Anette Isaacs, M.A., as she presents you with a historical and political overview of this painful but also almost miraculous period in Berlin’s captivating history.

Course Description: The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) represents a watershed event in Western history, marking the initial "call to arms" against fascism. We will examine this war within the context of Spain's national history and within that of the tensions leading to World War II. Moreover, we will glean specific insights into the "story" of this war by studying several artistic masterpieces. We will read Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls as well as a translation of Rafael Albert's poetic collection Capital de la Gloria and study the art and life of Pablo Picasso with emphasis on his painting Guernica. NOTE: Suggested reading: Hemingway, a history of the Spanish Civil War

Course Description: Are you confused by the recent changes to the U.S. immigration system? Between 2016 and 2020, the Trump Administration successfully reduced the number of family-reunification immigrants, work-related visas, refugees, and asylum-seekers.

Course Description: Eugene O’Neill is generally regarded as America’s greatest playwright and Long Day’s Journey Into Night is accepted as his greatest play. The course will examine this “play of old sorrow” for its position in western drama, its psychological insight, its origins in the intellectual ferment of the early 20th century and its place in the tragic tradition. We will also focus on the importance of O’Neill’s stagecraft and the actors’ performance approach in conveying the power of the play. Our study will use a video of the play in class with a discussion focused approach and supporting lecture material. NOTE: suggested text: Long Day's Journey into Night, Yale University Press, 2nd edition (2002).
