News from Spring Semester 2017

Our classes have been enthusiastically received this semester. We’ve sponsored heavily-enrolled courses on Henry James, the history of the National Seashore,Cape Cod artists and modernist architecture,climate change and human rights, and the history of American racism.

  • Our Introduction to Cape Cod Modernist Architecture course hosted a brilliant talk by Friedrich St. Florian, former Dean of the Department of Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design

  • We organized a field trip to see modernist architecture in the Boston area, and a tour of local gems with Peter McMahon, founder of the Cape Cod Modern House Trust.

  • Members of our course on climate change and human rights have been invited to present their findings at the Wellfleet Council on Aging, date to be determined.

  • Our course on Henry James’ The Golden Bowl will sponsor a showing of the film version at the Wellfleet Library on November 21 from 2-4 p.m. All are invited.

  • Professor John Anderson will offer a Chautauqua presentation regarding Henry James in December, date, time, and location to be announced.

This is just a small sample of what we’ve been doing.

​We are always looking for experienced leaders with a passion for their subject that might interest our Cape Cod community. If you’d like to be involved, leave a message on the contact page of our website.
We’ll respond immediately!
