In 1911 modernization was in the air and the successful Georgia Brick Company of Athens met its attack of "Ford Fever" by installing "The Shaw System" of a 50-year- old untrained, inventor, Mrs. Francis Shaw. Was she a fraud or, as a friend of hers suggested, just a little over-confident? Either way the company (and many bricks) were broken within months. Come join us and an album of rare industrial photographs to learn about brick-making, the "Shaw System," and the tale behind the beloved and fascinating industrial ruins at Sandy Creek Nature Center.

For those concerned about racism in this country, this beautifully written book will make a difference. From the book jacket: “Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the stories of people living today, Dr. Smith’s debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be”. Each class will focus on discussion of about 50 pages of Dr. Smith’s book. Participants should have read the 50 pages before each class.

Sonnets are built on the tension between control and emotion. We know of sonnets from 500 years ago as well as from yesterday. In this course the instructor will outline the sonnet’s history and “rules,” but the main mission of the class will be to read aloud and discuss some of the most interesting contributions to the form. Neither homework nor a specific textbook is required. To deepen understanding of the genre, each class member is encouraged to try his/her hand at writing a sonnet--and is welcome, though not expected, to read it aloud in class on the last day.

In this one-session class, we will discuss Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 comedy of manners, The Shop Around the Corner . While not exactly a screwball comedy, it bears relation to that genre but hovers on the verge of melodrama as well. Participants will watch the film on their own and then join the Zoom class to ponder themes, motifs, characters, and the "Lubitsch touch."

Accidents, calamities, disasters, and tragedies in war -- oftentimes little known -- can affect the outcome of battle, or the writing of the history. This course will examine many of the unreported disasters of WW II. Some SNAFUs are caused by bad luck, bad leadership, organizational flaws, or just plain stupidity. We will discuss some of the incidents that escaped scrutiny.

This class explores the happenings in Harlem and Broadway during the early part of the 20th century. Dorothy Fields was firmly entrenched in both arenas, and was the only major female songwriter to establish herself as an equal to her male colleagues during this era. She paved the way for the next generation of female songwriters that followed. Highlights from her music written with Jimmy McHugh, Jerome Kern and Cy Coleman are presented through live performance as well as recordings.

The end is nigh for 23% of Social Security: The Congressional Budget Office projects that in 10 years the program will be able to pay retirees only 77% of their scheduled benefits. For some, this cut would be inconvenient; for the 40% of retirees who rely on Social Security for most of their income, it would be disastrous. Since politicians’ pledges never to cut Social Security cannot be redeemed at the grocery store, the program must be changed if it is to honor its commitments. This course explores the leading proposals to restore Social Security to financial solvency.
