Hope As a Subversive Act
with Jerre Henriksen
Co-facilitator: Donna Monti
Emily Dickinson says, “Hope” is the thing with feathers …That perches in the soul … And sings the tune without the words.” This two-week class will engage in group discussions focused on what hope means to each of us - including exploring hopeful activities and the benefits of hope. A variety of short readings and self-directed activities will allow us to have meaningful conversations and articulate our concept of hope.

Physics for Poets (As well as Normal People)
with Karen Christensen
Co-facilitaator: Evelyn Porter
Never took a physics class - or understood very little if you did? We can fix that! In a fast-paced class full of cool demos, we'll cover everything currently known about physics - and touch on some astronomy as well. Topics will include how science works, the physics of motion and fluids, electricity and magnetism, light, relativity, time travel, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, black holes, the beginning and end of the universe - and how to throw a baseball!
No previous knowledge of science or poetry is required, nor are math skills. Come learn what a truly amazing, beautiful, and incredibly bizarre universe we live in.
Speaker: Dr. Roger G. Johnston
