We trust our visual systems to provide reliable information about the world around us (“seeing is believing”) and generally believe we are aware of what is going on around us. Despite that trust, there are numerous instances where there is a mismatch between what we perceive and what is out there (e.g., illusions). Some perception researchers and philosophers have gone as far as to argue that we live in a grand illusion. What do they mean? Why would they suggest this? We explore these, and other issues associated with the relationship between our visual system, attention, perception, and conscious awareness.

Is there any evidence that God exists? Or that Jesus is His divine Son? Or is Christian belief just a matter of having faith? This course examines the historical and scientific evidence, and the philosophical arguments in support of God's existence and the divinity of Jesus. Topics include the Cosmological Argument; Fine-Tuning Argument; Moral Argument; Near-Death Experiences; reliability of Gospel accounts; and non-biblical evidence. This course is not doctrinal. It examines these questions from historical, scientific, and philosophical viewpoints and is intended for both religious and non-religious people who have an intellectual curiosity about the basis for Christian beliefs.

From 1820 to 1970, many Athenians lived above Hancock Ave downtown in homes ranging from small cottages to impressive mansions mostly dating to the 19th century. In the 1960s this vibrant neighborhood was swept away in Athens' largest urban renewal project, clearing hundreds of buildings between Pulaski and the Oconee River from Hancock to the CSX tracks. Drawing on extensive photographs and documents in the Hargrett Library, Athens Magic Lantern will lead you on a virtual stroll through what were some of the oldest residential streets in Athens, revealing a way of life that just isn't the same as Greek Revival Cobbham.

Humans are remarkably creative in developing medicines for a range of ailments, which raises the question: How do non-human animals find the medicines they need? Many animals do exactly what we do – they pay a visit to their local “pharmacy.” For animals, that pharmacy is represented by the medicinal qualities of the food that they eat. Chimpanzees, birds, crustaceans, and insects can all derive medicinal benefits from what they eat. With a focus on self-medication in monarch butterflies, this lecture will explore how animals use medicinal plants and what we can learn about human drug discovery by watching them.

Everyone knows that the Classic City is the birthplace of several prominent bands including the B-52s, REM, and Widespread Panic, to name a few. But what was it like before that? Take a trip down memory lane and see what the local music scene was like in the 1950s and 1960s. The presentation will include rare newspaper advertisements, posters, and stories about the early bands that emerged from Athens and traveled the Southeast. And participants will hear little-known stories of the role the University's social organizations played in social and political change on campus and beyond

The Venice Biennale has been held every 2 years (as possible) since 1895. Every nation in the world is invited to present their best artists. The 60th Biennale is scheduled from April to November 2024. The 59th Biennale had 80 national exhibits, including 29 permanent country pavilions. The non-permanent country pavilions are scattered in rented space around Venice, in attic garrets, churches, and fancy palaces. The presenter plans to visit as many of the exhibits as possible. For a preview, Google “Jeffrey Gibson,” the indigenous artist who will exhibit in the USA's permanent building.

From Japan, Aikido is the only martial art of nonviolence. It is based on a philosophy of restoring peace and harmony to a confrontation. Over 9 sessions you will learn how Aikido uses non-violent techniques, physical and mental, to attain harmony.
