Frédéric Bazille and the Birth of Impressionism

Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jacob van Rusdael, Pieter Claesz,

Differing Historical Perspectives on Slavery in

Maryland and the District of Columbia

NEW

This course explores slavery in the Washington, D.C. area beginning in the late 1600s. Ninian Beall’s tobacco plantation occupied the land where the White House is today - but it soon changed. After tobacco wore out the land, slavery made less sense, and it was hard to enforce with an increasingly diverse capital of the United States. By the time of the

Civil War, Washington, D.C. still had slaves, but they lived among a population of free African Americans. Author James

H. Johnston will discuss the differing perspectives on slavery that emerge from his two books, The Recollections of Margaret Loughborough , about a daughter of the Old Dominion of

Virginia , and From Slave Ship to Harvard , which follows six generations of an African American family in Maryland.

The Spanish Civil War

NEW

A brutal civil war, between the National Front and the

Popular Front, ensued that lasted for nearly three years (July

1936-April 1939) and claimed the lives of some 500,000 people. In the words of the Associated Press, “the conflict became a battlefield of ideologies—church against the state; the landed against the landless; fascism against elected socialists and communists.” Taking a historical approach towards the Spanish Civil War, this course will explore the internal and international social, political, and economic causes of the war. The course will be interdisciplinary in nature, using

American and Spanish films, documentaries, literature, music and history texts to illustrate the key issues generated by the conflict. You will gain insight into the root problems and complexities of modern Spain. Attention will also be given to the international volunteers that fought in the war, including the Abraham Lincoln Brigade from the United States.

The Future of Planet Earth

NEW

Climate change is threatening the planet, with rising sea levels and extreme weather, including blizzards, floods, and drought. Meanwhile, the sixth great extinction may be underway, signaling the Anthropocene, a whole new geologic period caused by humanity and our devilishly clever ability to change the environment around us. Yet, we are also capable of solving the crises we create. Besides covering the environmental problems caused by humans, this course will discuss efforts to create a better future, from the environmental movement of the 1960s and ‘70s to more recent efforts to achieve sustainability, including the recently signed Paris climate agreement.

Income Taxes Don’t Have to Be a Mystery!!

This course will help dispel some of the myths of preparing income taxes, as well as reviewing various methods to help reduce the tax bite. Many of us are frustrated by the act of preparing for our personal income taxes due April 15 each year. It could be a fear of the IRS, or just that math and the paperwork becomes overwhelming. With the use of basic tax software most people can do their own taxes. But understanding how the returns are put together is important to know that you are taking advantage of tax laws, whether you are a small business owner, or simply an employee. Students
