Course Description: This class is not intended to teach right from wrong, but explores “why” people think something is, or isn’t, and what they would have done. We will practice arguing heartfelt opinions without insult or defamation. We will begin with an overview of the general field of ethics, concentrating on two basic axes: whether the ends can justify the means, and whether exceptions can be made to ethical rules depending on circumstances. The next four sessions will compare debatable situations from two of those viewpoints, in turn. For the final class, each student will try to figure out their personal ethical style.

Course Description: In Chicago in the later 19th century a new architecture of tall buildings (skyscrapers) with innovative construction emerged. One of the leaders, Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924), helped to create this new architecture and contributed a new form of ornament. Sullivan with his partner Dankmar Adler designed landmarks in the city and in St. Louis, Buffalo, and New York. He wrote articles and books on his new architectural approach. However, his personal life had major problems and he wound up designing in small rural towns and died in poverty. The course will cover Sullivan and other Chicago architects work from the period.

Course Description: Building a public botanical garden is not an easy feat. So far, McIntire Botanical Garden (MBG) has been driven by the community’s input, aspirations, insights, and desire to be a place of healing, unity, education and beauty. But the input phase of the garden design process is not complete and through outreach, we are hoping to gather more feedback to ensure the built garden will represent the hopes and dreams of the entire community. This course will outline what has already been achieved in the process toward building the garden and give insight into the road map ahead. The first session will be in the classroom and second session will be a social distanced tour of the garden site. The tour will let you see for yourself how the Garden is already working to showcase some of the unique flora of the Piedmont region, to enhance public knowledge of nature and land stewardship, and to increase access to a place for solace and comfort in the community.

Course Description: Imagine if there were an organ in your body that weighed as much as your brain, that affected your memory and mood, your health, weight, and even your behavior. Wouldn’t you want to know about it? There is such an organ — the collection of microbes in and on your body, your human microbiome. Your human microbiome produces molecules decreasing the effects of stress, alters hormones and influences immune functioning affecting behavior, and produces molecules altering brain vessels impacting cognition. This course offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind-gut connection and how keeping your gut healthy keeps your mind healthy.

Course Description: The tools of modern medical technology in genetics, laboratory science and neuroscience now allow us to predict or diagnose disabilities at a much earlier stage than a generation ago. This course will review the history of presidential disabilities, their frequency and severity, and how our nation has coped with or ignored them. We will look at two case studies, Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan, as examples. Finally, we will examine the new tools available to medical science and how they will affect the voter’s decisions on who is or is not physically or mentally fit to be president.

Course Description: The Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest the world has ever come to WWIII. In the midst of the Cold War, the Soviet Union provoked a confrontation with the U.S. that quickly led to a massive buildup of military forces. This in turn resulted in extreme danger & stress, demanding the utmost skill & caution in diplomacy for both the military & political areas of our government. In just three days, the big picture as well as intimate personal recollections of this crisis & others will be covered.

Course Description: The idea of our voting system for Congress is simple in principle. The devil is in the details. Each state is allowed a number of representatives roughly proportional to its population. In the case of the House of Representatives, these become our Congressmen. In the case of the election of our President, they become the Electoral College. This class will discuss 1) the details for the Congressional case, including five ways Congresspersons have been apportioned to States and paradoxes that have occurred., and 2) the presidential elections in which the successful presidential candidate did not win the popular vote.

Course Description: How will public schools fare during these turbulent times? And what impact will a new President and Administration have on public education? Covid 19 outbreaks during 2020 changed the delivery of and funding for public school instruction. Locally, Albemarle County witnessed a drop of 900 students, while Charlottesville City saw a drop of almost 200 students. Kindergarten and lower grades have been hit the hardest, both locally and nationally according to a recent survey of educational leaders by Education Week Research Center.
As public school enrollment declined, private and online for-profit enrollment increased. Pearson, one of the world’s largest education testing and publishing companies, reported a 61 percent increase in applications to its K-12 online learning school Connections Academy. Whether families choose virtual online or hybrid learning with their local public school system or opt out for private schools, private tutors, home-schooling, or for-profit virtual programs depends not just on what is best for their child, but, more importantly perhaps, what is best for family finances. A mix of “light” lecture, aided by PowerPoint slides, and engaging discussion will focus on current events and research, a review of the historical roots of educational choice, an examination of “choice options” from charter schools to vouchers and home schooling, and debate about the future of public K-12 education.

Course Description: Almost all of us encountered the poems of Keats in high school, and if any poetry spoke to us, it was likely to be his. However, I found myself re-reading them in middle age and finding that few of them said what I had thought they said. The texts of his poems, when augmented by pertinent extracts from his incomparable letters, reveal a darkly idiosyncratic and provocative content. I call the overall effect of them "Keats's Dharma." This course offers a feast of powerful ideas expressed in ravishing verbal music.
