 This class introduces a tradition–that of the Arthurian legend–from its beginnings in the Middle Ages through its resurgence in modern times. We will identify reasons for the enduring popularity of King Arthur and his entourage, but we will also take note of significant innovations introduced by modern revivalists. We will read from written texts of power and originality, but we will also study successful adaptations of the legend, and its pervasive presence in the general culture: Round Table Pizza, the Excalibur Hotel and Casino, Merlin’s Mufflers, and–in Kearney Nebraska–a street named Camelot Way

This class covers artists such as Jules Tavernier, Paul Frenzeny, and Charles Bird King – artists who were not covered in the Fall 2017 and 2018 classes. Artist explorer works from the MONA collection will be shown and discussed during this class.
Attendance in Classes I and II is not needed to attend or enjoy Class III.
 Medieval England will roughly cover the span between the end of Roman occupation up to the start of the Tudor dynasty. In this period, we see the Kingdom of England go from a backwater province to a substantial regional power in Western Europe. The course will focus on the Kings and Queens of England and the military challenges that they faced, including the Viking Invasions, Norman Conquest, Hundred Years’ War, and the War of the Roses. The history of Medieval England has inspired our culture from Shakespeare’s plays to George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones.
Take this class and you can tell your friends you are learning about fluvial geomorphology. Phrases and terms like “base level”, “graded stream”, “discharge”, “laminar flow”, and other “stuff “ will expand your vocabulary. You will be able to discuss why the Atchafalaya may save New Orleans and why do you need to know about “The Waters Of The United States”? We’ll shoot the rapids of the science of rivers, meander through some history, paddle around in politics and law, and sail across some current issues. Bring your Life Jackets and come along for the ride!
 Have you ever stumbled across a TED Talk on You Tube or listened to one on NPR? If so, you already know that the subjects can be serious or quirky, deeply emotional or highly intellectual. And you also know that no matter the subject, the talk is bound to get you thinking and anxious to talk with someone about it. For this series we shall examine "Emotional Intelligence" and "Artificial Intelligence". So put on your “thinking cap” and join the adventure.
