The History of Protests: Integrity vs. Utility

$10

with Olive Poliks

Calendar Jun 29, 2026 at 1 pm, runs for 1 week

The history of protests began before recorded time. There was always a fight: Conquer and Conquered. What's behind the scenario? Together, we will explore the notion of "Integrity versus Utility." Fights are won and lost over ideals and ideas. What is your current protest? What are the motives behind your reason or lack of it? Who and what are we fighting for or against? Our goal as life-long learners is to make intelligent decisions, based on intelligent investigation. Anchored in humor, mutual respect and curiosity, we can find new ways to learn and new ways to learn together. If memory is a "group sport", so is curiosity and humor. The course will not be a political arena to support or dispute the current administration. Our focus is on ideas and application.
