Extraordinary Marriages: A chance to look at the nature of these marriages, and what made them work (or not work).
The History of Slavery: A fascinating subject, which can be approached in a number of ways. Some knowledge will help, but enthusiasm and interest matter most.
Ethical Issues in the News: A course in which the participants will discuss ethical questions arising out of news events. The co-moderator will help to keep discussion on track, and also do her or his share of research and presentation.
We are also looking for moderators (or co-moderators) for courses in these areas:
Spanish Conversation: For this course, we need someone who has an academic teaching qualification either in Spanish or in teaching a second language. The class would be at the beginner / intermediate level.
A Play-Reading Group: This just requires an enthusiasm for play-reading and some organisational ability. A good chance to lead an interesting activity.
If any of these topics or areas catches your interest, this is your chance to get involved.
The moderators are the ones who do the initial planning and organization for each course between now and late September – that’s 3 whole months to get ready! So, how about YOU? Can you help us out? Can you challenge yourself? Are you ready for a great experience?
Of course, if you have any other idea or ideas of your own which you’d like to pursue, that’s also fine with us.
So, if you’re interested and/or have any questions, contact me within the next few days, and I’ll be glad to give or get you all the help you need. Remember that there’s lots of time between now and late September to do the work. And you’ll learn so much in the process.
Thanks,
Simon Pearson
