This presentation will follow the career of the Franco-Mexican muralist, painter, and illustrator Jean Charlot. He spent several years in Athens during the early 1940s working on the UGA campus at the invitation of Lamar Dodd, his student at the Art Students' League in New York City. Before coming to Athens, Charlot worked on the Mexican ruins at Chichen Itza and illustrated works by French author Paul Claudel. Charlot’s subsequent career included working as a muralist on numerous sites across the U.S., and he finally settled in Hawaii, where he was professor of art at the University of Hawaii, Manoa.

You retired thinking you would finally have time for the people you love. Why does the time feel awkward, the conversations shorter, the visits more obligation than joy? For most of our working life, structure carries us. Retirement removes that scaffolding. What remains are the patterns we learned long before we became aware of them: Criticism that arrives without warning, sarcasm that hides inside humor, judgments delivered with confidence, stories that get hijacked the moment we try to share them. Each pattern is an inherited reflex learned in the family that raised you long before you could choose otherwise. Once you can name a reflex, you can interrupt it.
In this session, we will walk through the Family Zoo, four common archetypes that show up at family gatherings and quietly drain the warmth from a room. We will look at why each behaves the way it does, how to stay neutral when one appears, and how to recognize the one you become under stress. This workshop is not about fixing your family members. It is about who you choose to be in the room with them. You will leave with a clear framework for the moments that matter most: Awareness, neutrality, and the discipline to create a space family members want to enter rather than one they feel compelled to.

From the 1860's until the 1950's, the nation's mail moved from city to city in special rail cars known as the Railway Post Office (RPO). In these locked cars, men postmarked and sorted letters, newspapers, and packages while the train traveled from 65 to 90 miles an hour. Known as the Railway Mail Service or RMS, over 3,500 RPOs travelled over 486 million miles while processing 20+ billion pieces of mail across the nation. This session will reveal the forgotten facts of the Railroad Postal Clarks and the importance of their occupation as the mail moved from large cities to small communities and connected families and friends.

The French Revolution was a period of significant political and social upheaval in France from 1789 to 1799. It was marked by the overthrow of the monarchy, the establishment of a republic, and radical changes in society. This period was driven by economic hardship, social inequality, and Enlightenment ideals and led to events including the storming of the Bastille and the Reign of Terror. This class is designed as a brief overview with the goal of encouraging deeper study by class participants.

Fritz Lang, having finished his epic silent film Metropolis, saw Peter Lorre on stage and signed him for his next film, Lang’s first with sound. Lorre plays a serial killer who eludes police but is caught and tried by a ragtag cadre of criminals and street people. The class will view excerpts of the film and discuss Lang's development of the "police procedural" and "film noir," which he continued in his Hollywood films Fury, Scarlet Street and The Big Heat. M has received widespread critical praise and has an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

In Pre-Industrial Societies: Anatomy of the Pre-Modern World, sociologist/historian Patricia Crone identifies the common features of pre-industrial societies, from locations as distant as the Mongol Empire and pre-Columbian America, to cultures as diverse as the Ming Dynasty and 17th-century France. We can see the roots of our present societies in the key elements of these societies—socio-economic organization, states, politics, culture, and the role of religion. Class discussions will focus on how Crone’s anatomy of early societies is reflected, or not, in today’s societies, and gain insights into our present possibilities and future challenges. Participants will secure copies of the book Pre-Industrial Societies: Anatomy of the Pre-Modern World in advance and read the assigned chapters prior to each session.
