OUR FALL 2020 PROGRAM
Our fall program will be delivered on line as was our final winter course and our entire spring program. After a few teething problems, the on line delivery went well and was well received. As usual, readings and the class discussion material will be provided in advance. During the actual class there was a strong level of interactivity through textual chat. We encourage sharing of opinions and ideas and the on line format does not inhibit this
