Lifelong Learning Institute at Waubonsee Community College

How do we let freedom ring in our lives when political discord, digital technology, and information manipulation threaten our sense of personal rights. Using ideas from Timothy Snyder’s book, On Freedom, class participants will spend much of the classroom time in small discussion groups. The structure of the discussions will be centered on ideas Snyder has on how freedom functions in healthy societies. His ideas can be used as a base for how we want to structure our world to maintain our rights as people. We may know that we want to maintain personal freedom, but what does that look like? How can we best serve each other and serve our society to ensure the rights of all?
