“A History of the Future” Lunch and Learn with Professor Emeritus Dr. Bob Whalen05
A History of the Future. Since today is tomorrow’s yesterday, we are already part of the history that will shape the future. So, what will, might, should tomorrow be like? What do we do, could we do, should we do today to shape tomorrow? What trends are at work today that will produce tomorrow – should we accelerate them? Transform them? We’re already making the future – but what sort of future do we want?
Teaching does not end with retirement and learning does not end with graduation. The Greenspon Center is thrilled offer the lifelong learning course featuring Dr. Robert Whalen. The course will be offered on the first Mondays of each month from October through February.

An Historical Inquiry of Nazism & Jim Crow: Testimony in Dialogue with Primary Sources10
Join the Greenspon Center and the SC Council on the Holocaust as we welcome Aya Marczyk, from the Fortunoff Archives at Yale University, who will lead us in this cutting edge historical inquiry workshop.

What skills and attitudes do we need to engage in both empathetic listening and historical inquiry? And what does it take to articulate rigorous comparisons of race laws in the United States and Nazi Germany in the 1930s?
The day includes breakfast, lunch, and a free copy of the book Hitler's American Model.
$25.00 registration fee
