To say we are excited about our winter courses would be an understatement. We are wowed by the range of subjects and the exceptional instructors who will bring them to life. From acclaimed historian Adam Hochschild taking you behind the scenes to share the work and craft that go into writing prize-winning history books, to product and innovation champion Robert Todd discussing how to be human in the age of AI — plus revelatory explorations of Black and Latinx literature, great films (and filmmaking), art, music and more — what you get is one of our hottest winters ever.
