Osher (50+). This discussion course offers members an opportunity to discuss the national and international news of the week. Diversity of views of class members are encouraged.
This unique discussion group focuses on exploring the news of the week. Participants share articles and opinions that pertain to what's happening both in the United States and internationally, particularly to introduce diverse views. Many of the pundits we analyze write for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. These include such political writers as David Brooks, Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman, Ross Douthat, Fareed Zakaria, John Bolton, Peggy Noonan, Maureen Dowd and many more that the class may wish to cover. We also examine such magazines as The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic and other journals that give in-depth coverage of current topics. This is your chance to listen and to be heard on the events of today. This course uses the Hybrid (Flexible) format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom.
Hybrid course: combination of in-person and live-online.
