We're living through extraordinary times. The only true constant we encounter is change - so how can we shape and be shaped by it? Summer 2021's Semester in New Times imagines new frameworks for social transformation. The course is an invitation for you to consider the parallel journey of personal inner work and large-scale social change, to connect meaningfully in a time of isolation, and to think and plan together as a new era emerges.
