“These webinars have been informative and thought-provoking. It's very much appreciated to take some time to ponder life's issues and questions at this challenging time through the lens of literature and ideas.”

“I really appreciate Classics Revisited and Professor Sugrue's pov and conversation. It's always exciting to hear him speak on the history of a subject and provide an objective source of ideas based on the topic. I'd love to hear more from him, and I'm happy to listen to anything he shares next. Thank you!”

“Excellent speaker and content. It was delightful to hear an intelligent and coherent discussion of the actual issues and control of "reality" affecting US society and US universities today.”
