Join us for our Classics Revisited Webinar Series with Michael Sugrue, Ph.D. From Philosophy, to fiction; from biographies, to theatre, we will explore many great titles and their lasting impact.
1984 by George Orwell
Originally published in 1949, George Orwell’s 20th century classic, 1984, seems more relevant than ever. Originating as a dystopian lens on Stalinist Russia, it has since become a popular source material for today’s unbelievable realities, including how political manufactured make-believe can become a reality. We start our 2021 series taking a deeper dive with Professor Sugrue into this classic novel with a short lecture and live Q&A following.
“I am loving these discussions! Makes me feel like I am back in college but without the homework!”
