Charles Darwin's ideas on biological evolution are among the most impactful in modern science... and the most controversial. Even as fights over teaching biological evolution continue in our own time, Darwinian thinking is increasingly applied to new areas of science, the social sciences and even the humanities. This course we will review biological thinking before Darwin, then his life and core ideas, and the wildly varied reception of those ideas. Finally, the discussion will consider how, in recent decades, evolutionary thinking has been applied with astonishing success to new areas of scholarship and modern life.

A “disruptive technology” is a new technology so much better than the old version that it quickly replaces the incumbent, often bringing social changes as well. In this course, based on the work of Tony Seba, we introduce several new technologies that promise to change our world over the next 20 years. Some of these changes, such as android robots, may be frightening. Overall, these technologies form a toolkit that can be used for shutting down climate change and building a more humane world.

Today, Athens has one of the most vibrant downtowns in the Southeast, one that is filled with public art.

In this hands-on drawing course, students will draw and sketch many objects, filling many sheets and sketchbook pages. Between classes, students will draw everything in sight until their sketchbooks are full of quick little drawings. Developing skill is all about quantity! We will try as many drawing tools as possible, from charcoal to ink, on as many surfaces as possible. Some of the presenter's favorite resources are The Natural Way to Draw by Nicholaides and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Edwards.
