"500 Years of Fake News: From False Facts and Fictitious Fallacies to Forgotten Foibles"

with Steve Goldman

RECORDING STILL AVAILABLE: "Fake News" is a phrase that has come to be used frequently over the past 3 years. Is this a new phenomenon, or has it been around for a long while? Dr. Stephen A. Goldman will be your guide on a visual "magic carpet" ride through five centuries of historical newspapers to answer that question and to allow audience members to determine for themselves what is real and what is illusion. You might be surprised at the answer!

"Birds and Birding in our Eastern Shore Backyard"

 With Wayne Bell, PhD

This course is offered as a collaboration between Chesapeake Forum and the Pickering Creek Audubon Center.


RECORDED SESSIONS STILL AVAILABLE: This fall we will focus on common and not-so-common songbirds that grace our Eastern Shore backyards and parks. The course will span the months of September, October, and November to enable us to see departing summer residents and arriving winter residents as well as those species that grace our landscapes year 'round. We'll see familiar species like Northern Cardinal and Blue Jay. We'll also see birds that are often overlooked such as Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Savannah Sparrow, and yes, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. No birding experience is necessary but you may be surprised at how many species you already know! There will be one Zoom class session each month interspersed with at least two field trips to local destinations in between each class. (Due to social gathering restrictions, field trips are limited to 6 participants and available only to those signed up for the Live Zoom Class w/field trips.)  Gather up your binoculars and join us for a birder's-eye view of the place we call home.

"The Many Faces of Fascism" -PART I

with Ray Vergne


  RECORDED SESSIONS STILL AVAILABLE:  Although it affected, influenced, and dominated the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the XX Century, Fascism is difficult to define accurately and succinctly. This exercise in history will try to identify the major characteristics of Fascism in different countries, some of which existed under Fascist governments, some of which did not, and their differences. The roots and origins of Fascism will be explored, as well as its relationship to established religion, its economic systems, its prejudices and its implacable hostility to Communism. The circumstances around which Fascist movements developed will be discussed, whether these were in Europe, Africa, or America. Military operations (World War II) and genocide (the Holocaust) will be brought in peripherally as they relate to Fascist doctrine and ideology. The goal of this exercise is to better understand the phenomenon of Fascism, which so painfully scarred the history of the XX Century.

"Macbeth, The Scottish Play"

 with John Miller, Ph.D and Suzanne Sanders

         

       RECORDED SESSIONS STILL AVAILABLE:                                  Theatrical tradition would urge us to call Macbeth “The Scottish Play,” so that disaster doesn't befall us. But this bad luck tradition only comes into play (no pun intended) when the title is mentioned inside the theater where the performance is to be presented. But erring on the side of prudence is always best. For many of us this play remains a favorite (perhaps you first read it in high school) as does the quip “Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are the happiest married couple in Shakespeare.” Let's contrast this observations with those of many theatergoers who find this play one of the darkest of Shakespeare's works. We'll find out “ tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...”
