AMERICAN UPHEAVALS

Coordinators: Michael Wellner, Terri Hicks

Each week’s class will focus on one (or more) different important social and political issues, including the all-important 2024 election, that have a major impact on the state of our country, and its future.

READING EDITH WHARTON

Coordinators: Patricia Geehr, Arlene Curinga

We will read The Custom of the Country, published in 1913 after The House of Mirth (1905) and before The Age of Innocence (1920).

SUPREME COURT

Coordinators: Michael Wellner, Sandra Abramson, Babette Ceccotti

With the Supreme Court now composed of six Republican-appointed “conservative” justices, and just three “liberal” ones, and so many very urgent and critical issues being presented by the Trump presidency, the decisions of the Supreme Court are more urgent and important than perhaps any time in recent history.
