    Explore a series of thematically-related films. We'll engage in lively discussions as we analyze the films and our responses to them, while developing a sense of each film's creation, impact, and place in history.


    Come ready to experience and discuss films from the 1960s and 1990s! Many of the directors, actors, and other auteurs who had made their mark in the former decade were still active in the film scene by the latter – creating unique visions which were often in conversation with their own and each other’s earlier works. Through their films, we will explore a variety of genres and themes relevant not only to the respective decade that produced them, but also today.

    In American society, we venerate the United States Constitution. Some believe it was divinely inspired. We cite the Constitution for whatever rights we claim. But how many of us have read the Constitution or know what it says? Is the Constitution democratic or anti-democratic? Why give states equal representation in the Senate instead of proportional, and why choose the president through the Electoral College? In this class, we will study the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutional Convention, and the ratification process. We will examine all seven articles of the Constitution and discuss what amendments may be needed. By the end, you will know not only what the Constitution states, but also why it was initially stated that way. What it all means is a different question - but one that we shall heartily debate.
