(Summer 2021) WRITING CHINESE, SEEING NATURE - Sense the experiential, environmental role of writing in Chinese culture, to see the aesthetic dynamics of artistic writing (calligraphy) as a means of orienting self within cosmos (or Nature), learn a few basic components in the writing system, acquire a compelling admiration for cultivating the soul through beautiful writing. Not to mention a brief nod to the powerful imagery and concision of Chinese poetry, which has transformed world poetry, especially English language poetry over the past 100 years (not an idle claim).
(Summer 2019) CLIMATE CHANGE ART! - Ballads, sculpture, climate fiction, photography, ballet, painting and more!
(Summer 2019) CLIMATE CHANGE BASIC SCIENCE - There's a consensus among climate scientists that humans are warming the Earth. At the same time uncertainties remain about exactly where, how, and how fast regional climates will change. Come learn the views from mainstream climate scientists, including their answers to some common assertions from climate skeptics.
(SUMMER 2019) CLIMATE CHANGE GOVERNMENT POLICY - Basic economics teaches that in the case of pollution we can't rely on enough people or firms to voluntarily clean up our act. The basic government approaches to reducing greenhouse gas pollution are EPA regulation, the Green New Deal, and carbon pricing. We'll explore each.
