Sensible, Clueless or Both: An In-depth look at Jane Austen’s Women


Jane Austen is undoubtedly a fixture in English Literature, and her works, although praised more now than in her own time, continue to provide insight into late eighteenth century/ early nineteenth century society, especially women’s roles. Focusing on “Emma” and “Sense and Sensibility”, we’ll explore Austen’s illustration of women and the ways in which she both challenged and reinforced social norms, norms women still encounter today.

For more than 10,000 years people have lived in the area of Rancho Bernardo. This class will explore the story of the human beings who made their home here before 1847. Who were the Native Americas who lived in Rancho Bernardo? This is a story of the arrival and departure of a diverse array of Indian cultures who adapted their life ways to the land and its resources. What kinds of traces have these people left behind? How did later natives interact with the Spanish and Mexican explorers and settlers? Join us as we examine how modern scholars are piecing together the evidence of what happened in the days before Rancho Bernardo was a part of the United States.

The History of Scientific Medicine in the Western World


The History of Western Scientific Medicine- Join us as we trace the history of western Scientific Medicine with lectures by the “The Teaching Company’s “ Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D, Professor of Surgery at Yale School of Medicine. Our journey begins with Hippocrates in the Golden Age of Greece ( 460 BCE) and proceeds on with Galen, a physician in the Roman Empire who lived from 130-201 AD. Our next stop is the Middle Ages with Andreas Vesalius, who performed many dissections and clarified the sciences of Anatomy and Physiology. In the seventeenth century, William Harvey discovered the circulation of blood. The eighteenth century was marked by the invention of the stethoscope and the application of scientific principles to surgery. In the nineteenth century, we learn about the discovery of anesthesia and the germ theory of disease. Our series concludes with the twentieth century development of cardiac surgery.

Facilitator: Virginia Holten History of the Human Language


A dog can let you know it’s eager for that treat in your hand, but it can’t tell you “my parents were poor, but humble.” A chimpanzee can sign that it wants a drink, but it can’t let you know it had a diet soda yesterday. What are the nuances of our language skills? How and why did they develop? Was there a world’s first language that evolved into the 6,000 languages in the world today? Let’s get together with excerpts of Professor John McWhorter’s lectures in DVDs from The Teaching Company to explore and discuss our unique ability to speak.
