Members will tour the historic property known as Smithonia Farm. James Monroe Smith was a sharecropper in the 1880's and owned the largest plantation in GA. The current owners will show you their 1905 brick barn known as The Commissary and the property they have restored. The goal of 30 years has been to move away from this shameful part of our history and create a place that enhances the beauty of this area.

Experiential education is best seen as we are doing some activity. Travel is one of the most natural ways to learn because it is so stimulating to the brain. We will discuss this phenomenon and discuss the overall impact of seeing travel as an educational foray. Roberson lived in Croatia for 8 years and in the Czech Republic for 12. We will discuss and focus on the main idea of his book: that travel is schooling.

The BBC/PBS series The Hollow Crown (2012) adapted four sequential Shakespeare English History plays in mini-series style. We’ll watch the series and (ideally) read the Shakespeare plays (Richard II, two parts of Henry IV, and Henry V). We’ll ponder Shakespeare’s nuanced and rueful look at leadership and the price to be paid for different leadership styles. The opulent series stars Jeremy Irons, Julie Walters, Tom Hiddleston, Judy Dench, and an A-List of British actors. Please watch the first episode before the first class, the second before the second, etc.

In the 1980s and 1990s, demographic dynamics became considerably different from what American adults had experienced when they were growing up - things like Baby Busts replacing baby booms, new life stages after age 65, and increased racial diversity. By 2000, Americans had settled into the new perspective, but now we are undergoing another demographic transformation. One aspect, below-replacement fertility in many countries as well as here, goes against demographers' expectations as well as the public's. And population decline has entered the picture, even in the U.S. What might today's young generations confront as they mature?

The frontier is that amorphous space between the town and the wilderness, between the violence we have become accustomed to and the savagery of the unknown. In True Grit a young girl crosses that space seeking justice for her murdered father. The class will examine her quest in the novel and the movies it spawned.
