The history of fakes, lies, and forgeries transcends human history and encompasses nearly every discipline within the Liberal Arts, from literature, art, and philosophy, to history, religion, and archaeology. Human civilization has been filling gaps in the historical record and inventing alternative narratives for all sorts of reasons: political, commercial, evangelical, and personal. This course will explore this dark cultural undercurrent across time, exploring specific examples of historical and literary forgeries that date from the biblical Flood to the future Apocalypse. At the heart of the this course will be JHU's Bibliotheca Fictiva, the world's largest collection of rare books and manuscripts on the subject of forgery. You can read more about the collection here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliotheca_Fictiva_Collection. Note: There will be no class session on Tuesday, February 25._____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies  Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

As a society, we’ve accumulated so much stuff that we now have to rent space for the extra stuff that we can’t fit into our homes. Garages no longer store cars but toys, clothing, furniture, and other accumulated stuff. In this class, I will cover a step-by-step process to declutter your home by employing several strategies, including recycling, repurposing, donating, and selling items you no longer need or want. We’ll look at the history of clutter categories, what causes us to accumulate and store too much of those items, and how we can let go of certain things that are difficult to say goodbye to. By the end of the course, you’ll have a plan to start decluttering your home and free your life (and vice versa). Each class will explore categories of clutter, ways to minimize or eliminate it, and several philosophies from decluttering and minimalist practitioners, including Marie Kondo, Fumio Sasaki, and Margaretta Magnusson. Class will also include a discussion period for participants to share their biggest decluttering challenges so that we can come up with solutions together. Finally, we will create a decluttering guide with additional resources and solutions. As a courtesy, class sessions will be recorded for students who have to miss a session._____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

Odyssey Virtual March 26, March 26, WednesdayGeorge Saunders: How Beginner’s Mind, First Thought, and Buddhist Meditation Practice Inform His Writing and Teaching, Jerry Webster, Health and Wellness, Virtual, OdysseyCourse Title: George Saunders: How Beginner’s Mind, First Thought, and Buddhist Meditation Practice Inform His Writing and TeachingInstructor:  Jerry Webster, PhDBrought to you by Odyssey   March 26, 2025 - April 23, 2025 (5 Sessions)  Wednesday,  6:30PM ET - 8:30PM ET  Virtual via Zoom Course Description: Great art and fruitful meditation require techniques that dive into vast dimensions of human existence.  George Saunders explores these dimensions deeply. His work unfolds from the contemplative wellsprings of life.  Saunders captures beginner’s mind and first thought, two foundations of meditation practice, not only in shaping the schemata of the values of his daily life but also in shaping of his aesthetic expressions involving his writing style and his teaching techniques. Sanders’ Lincoln in the Bardo, a work from which he garnered the 2017 prestigious Booker Prize, is a fictional work surprisingly populated almost entirely by a cast of newly dead characters.  In Buddhist terms, the most commonly used meaning of bardo is as an intermediate state between death and rebirth.  Within the work Saunders envisions how Lincoln comes to grips with the death of his favorite son William in the course of the Civil War.  Indeed, all of Saunders’ newly dead characters must navigate their own deaths. Saunders rests the background of his novel on teachings from The Tibetan Book of the Dead. In Saunders’ work A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russian Masters Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life, Saunders ventures further both into beginner’s mind and first thought. Saunders probes the works of four Russian short story masters analyzing both the themes and writing of these four writers as well as examining his own teaching and writing.                This class will explore the powerful combination of meditation and writing and teaching in Saunders’ works.  The class will include meditation exercises that inform Saunders’ creations.*Required Readings: George Saunders: A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life (2021).

What techniques, equipment, compositional elements, and psychology help elevate street shooting to a fine art? In this 100% projector-driven course, we’ll explore these questions and others as we view and deconstruct the work and general approach of Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Sebastião Salgado, Robert Frank, William Albert Allard, Ernst Haas, Alex Webb, Fan Ho, Elliot Erwitt, Diane Arbus, Wegee, Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden, Garry Winogrand, Saul Leiter, Steve McCurry, Vivian Maier, and a host of others whose work we promise you’ve never seen. Along the way, we’ll also consider whether all great street photographs have at least one element in common: an underlying vision or personal philosophy of the world. In the latter part of the course students will be encouraged but not required to show their own work. Please take note: portions of this course overlap with the professor’s black & white photography course, albeit often (though not always) with a different emphasis. *Skill level: beginners and advanced._____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies  Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.
