These courses – designed from the perspective of the humanities, rather than that of the hard sciences – will take up those questions in creative and challenging ways. In a period plagued by science denial, you’ll find some solid ground in these inquiries. (What follows is a listing of past and current lectures.)

• The Scientific Revolution 

• Pandemic!

• What Darwin Never Knew

• At the Edge or Order: Chaos and Complexity

• The Rise of the Humans
