Learning Communities Schedule


A tentative schedule of topics and texts for Spring 2010 can be found below. We encourage you to read the texts before coming to class; we think you'll get the most out of the material by getting a sense of context and by letting the text soak in during the week. For audio/slides of the Genesis overview from September 2009, click here. For audio of the Genesis overview from February 2010, click here.
