Great Books Spring 2019
Join the popular Great Books discussion group, which uses Shared Inquiry, a
method of teaching and learning that enables people of all ages to explore
the ideas, meaning, and information in everything they read. In this type of
discussion, each participant engages in an active search for the meaning of
a work by reading closely, asking questions, and actively discussing the work.
Participants look to the discussion leader for questions, not answers. Each
Great Books anthology features essays, stories, articles, and other media, all
short enough to read at one sitting. The group will meet for eight Tuesdays
beginning April 16, 2019. The anthology is selected by group participants and
is available at the Jefferson. – Corrine Egan, B.A.
