Are you interested in studying classic works of literature and philosophy? The Halifax Humanities Society is excited to offer a new session of its fundraising program, Halifax Thinks! Halifax Thinks gives students an opportunity to follow curriculum based on the University of King's College Foundation Year Program. Students receive 12 recorded lectures written and delivered by university professors which they can listen to at their convenience. Twice a month, all participant...s are invited to a real-time Zoom tutorial where they get to discuss the work with a university professor and with others in the class. This session of HalifaxThinks is entitled The Medieval Period, and it corresponds roughly with the major works from the second section of the Foundation Year Program. Students will learn about early texts in the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions; art and architecture from the Medieval period; and Dante’s magnum opus, The Divine Comedy. The proceeds of this program will support the Halifax Humanities Society's other programs, which provide free humanities education to adults living on low incomes.
