You might think of information as synonymous with knowledge – but while the former contributes to the latter, they are not the same thing. In this class, we will explore the nature of information – the theory of which only emerged in our lifetimes – before moving on to an examination of what knowledge is, with nods toward Socrates and Darwin. Along the way, we will make some excursions into the relationship between brain and mind.
This class is intended as the first half of a pair. Instructor John Jamison intends to offer the second class – an exploration of the nature of wisdom – next quarter, Winter 2025.
This is a Hyflex class, meaning that each class meeting you may choose to attend either in person or online via Zoom. The Zoom Meeting ID and link will be included in your registration confirmation email.
Required Materials: pen; paper.

Are you looking to enhance your genealogical research? If so, this in-depth examination of various record categories will do just the trick! In this class, we will identify some records that put your ancestors within a specific context and timeframe, and others that will illuminate their personal stories for you to share. Our journey will take us through maps, books, property deeds, military service records, social history documents, and more. Through discussion, we'll cover where to find these records — concentrating on the wealth of resources available online, but without neglecting traditional research techniques — and how to effectively utilize them in your investigations.
