What classes would we recommend you choose?
This July, you might want to explore great classes and conversations that focus specifically on our current moment. (This seems a great way to underscore the importance of our new Five Things I’ve Learned about America series, now underway.)
For example: Consider checking out, Phil Klay’s remarkable class for writers and readers, Five Things I’ve Learned about Thinking and Writing about Citizenship. Phil won the National Book Award for fiction in 2014 for Redeployment his first book-length publication. His most recent book, Uncertain Ground, is a remarkable, haunting, and provoking series of essays on war, its aftermath, and its continued challenges. Phil’s class shares what he believes it means to write and think thoughtfully about American citizenship in our current age.
What simliar classes could you add with your own Six-Class Mult Pass?
Check out Nicholas Buccola’s great class on the last power of James Baldwin, or his independent, thrilling conversations with Pulitzer-Prize winning historian David Blight, and with celebrated author and professor Eddie Glaude Jr. We also recommend historian Catherine Grace Katz’s class on how historians work, and The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson session on America’s current and persistent challenges.
