We're back at school each Wednesday at UT (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute). Today was 2 for two on our seminar selections. First was a brilliant liberal arts educator and humanist, Sheldon Ekland-Olson. This Ivy educated human with warmth and enormous academic intelligence discusses life and death ethical issues in an open-minded style that encourages participation and different POVs. We loved this class. Then Sports, Sports, Sports. What a hoot. Music, videos, history and such fun taught by an extremely enthusiastic sports fan. While I have never been a fan of competitive sports this teacher really brings it on!
The afternoon was a lecture by a social psychologist about the use of pronouns and what it says about the speaker. A bit stiff and researchy for my taste, but a good speaker nevertheless. The names of speakers and courses can be found on OLLI/Nova/UT. I'm glad we're back at school. A good choice.
