Osher (50+). This current events lecture series features a different speaker each week. Guest speakers are experts in their field who provide a one-hour lecture followed by a thirty-minute Q&A.
Pulled from today’s headlines, this exclusive speaker series offers an in-depth analysis of significant contemporary issues. Each week, an expert from the political, social, technological, or economic spectrum provides a 1-hour lecture focused on a major global, national, or local issue. Afterwards, students have the opportunity to participate in a 30-minute Q&A session with the speaker. A list of speakers for this term will be available online approximately one month before the course begins. Students who wish to view the series with their fellow classmates in-person will have access to a screening room at the UCLA Extension Gayley Center in Westwood, room 121AB (adjacent to the OLLI member lounge). Special promotion for fall 2022 quarter: $100 course fee for both OLLI Basic and Plus members.
This course will be recorded.
