Back to School Week is coming up on September 4th and 5th ! And to celebrate ALL lifelong learners preparing to immerse themselves in their autumn studies, we are hosting a 2 day online event for our members. More info can be found here!
Enrollment for our first Accepted Academy course “Your Renaissance: An Introduction to Interdisciplinary and Critical Discourse” led by Cait Murphy-Hurrell (Starting Sep. 14) is now available!
"Why should people read literature? It's about seeing how it affects our day-to-day life, no matter where it's written."
— Cait Murphy-Hurrell
What we’re reading:
Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
A Founding Mother (a novel of Abigail Adams) by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoi
Thought:
Cait: It costs nothing to be kind
Kaelyn: Reducing social media access while on sabbatical has made my phone an unattractive place to spent time
Lesson of the week: all you need is an intentional 15 minutes in your day to read, to analyze an artwork, to engage with a question to slowly free your mind from distraction and develop an intellectual disposition
