Odyssey Virtual January 26, January 26, MondayBrent Peterson, Odyssey, Virtual, Arts and Humanities, Seeing the World Anew: German Women Writers in Global Perspective, German, Women, Writing Course Title: Seeing the World Anew: German Women Writers in Global PerspectiveInstructor: Brent Peterson, PhD, A&S '71Brought to you by Odyssey  January 26, 2026 - March 2, 2026 (6 Sessions) Monday,  5:30PM ET - 7:00PM ET Virtual via ZoomCourse Description: As literary critic Peter Brooks put it, characters in literature “serve as optics on the world: They offer what Proust (1871-1922) called the only true adventure—to see the world through another’s eyes.” This course looks at how German women authors with migration backgrounds view Germany. Renan Demirkan's Black Tea with Three Sugar Cubes (1991) looks at the experience of a woman who arrived in Germany in 1962 as a seven-year old from Turkey. It ends with the birth of her multi-ethnic child in an increasingly diverse Germany. Fatma Aydemir's Djinns (2023, the word means goblin) is less optimistic: Turning expectations and stereotypes of the immigrant experience on their side, Aydemir shows how we all grapple with power and beauty, the holes in our lives, and the demons that hover just out of sight.*Top Rated Instructor*Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

This six-week seminar explores how writers have imagined, embodied, and resisted time across centuries and genres. Moving from the industrial age’s “clock time” to the digital era’s dizzying acceleration, we’ll read fiction, poetry, and theory that challenge our assumptions about duration, progress, and the present. Authors such as Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, Édouard Glissant, Lucille Clifton, and Annie Ernaux reveal how power, gender, technology, and biology shape our temporal experience. Alongside thinkers from Marx to Foucault and Kristeva, we’ll consider how literature opens counter-cultural doorways into the lived texture of time—its loops, ruptures, and renewals. The course culminates in a creative workshop inviting participants to craft original works inspired by their own encounters with time. Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

You made the class simple and digestible really breaking down the ins and outs of being an author. From brainstorming to editing to marketing. I still to this day, review some of the notes from the sessions. I am extremely grateful there are people like you who want to help and want to give back. For those who take John’s class, really be intentional so you can get the most out of the experience!”  "I recently attended John's webinar series on Writing and Publishing ... He is an inspiring instructor — organized, knowledgeable, and responsive. His teaching style is very hands-on, filled with valuable information and practical advice. The assignments he gave challenged us to apply the things we were learning. Before attending this course, I knew nothing about how to self-publish on Amazon. Thanks to his effort and encouragement, I'm now a published writer!" “I thought that John did a phenomenal job both in planning content and presenting the course. His significant resources were very helpful and I will continually refer to them as I move forward in writing my book. He is very knowledgeable, having written several books on diverse topics.” Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Google DeepMind, and autonomous robots are reshaping industries once thought immune to automation. Goldman Sachs has estimated that approximately 25% of the global labor market could be lost to AI, sparking fears of a job apocalypse.Will AI usher in a new era of prosperity and leisure or a future of unemployment and inequality?Some of those concerned foresee a future where AI becomes so efficient and productive that nearly every job with human laborers will be at risk, generating fears of mass unemployment. Other people see a tool that is transformative and can augment human labor. Even though there may be disruptions to segments of the job market, history has shown that even in the wake of large-scale shifts—such as the industrial and information revolutions—the individual drive to work remained powerful.As AI is being implemented into our daily lives, we debate the question: Will AI Make Work Obsolete?Featured speakersArguing Yes:Andrew Yang, Founder of the Forward Party, Former Presidential CandidateSimon Johnson, Nobel Prize-winning Economist; Professor of Entrepreneurship and Head of the Global Economics and Management Group at MITArguing No: Chris Hughes, Co-founder of Facebook; Chair and Co-founder of the Economic Security ProjectRumman Chowdhury, CEO of Humane Intelligence PBC; Former U.S. Science Envoy for Artificial Intelligence Moderator-in-Chief: John Donvan, Emmy Award-winning journalist The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University is an academic and public forum dedicated to strengthening global democracy through research, teaching, and practice.

But with advances in robotics design, nimble, small, crewless vehicles are at work discovering new resources and providing critical data. What will they discover next—from the depths of Earth’s oceans to the reaches of deep space?Marine technologies expert and Arctic expedition leader James Bellingham will take up this question of autonomous robots’ vital impacts in aquaculture management, climate data gathering, and deep sea energy source discovery as he discusses his recent book, How Are Marine Robots Shaping Our Future?

This dialogue will highlight U.S. foreign policies and themes from his newest book, Inside the Reagan White House: A Front-Row Seat to Presidential Leadership with Lessons for Today. Ambassador Frank Lavin is the former U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade and former U.S. Ambassador to Singapore. In the Reagan Administration, Lavin served on the White House and the National Security Council staff.  Foreign policy during the Cold War provided a framework for U.S. global leadership that endured long after the Soviet Union’s collapse. Yet in recent decades, Americans have expressed growing uncertainty about the nation’s international role—from Obama’s recalibration of NATO commitments to Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and Trump’s challenges to traditional alliances and trade structures.Is global leadership still essential to U.S. security and prosperity, or have the costs begun to outweigh the benefits? Has America’s reduced international footprint been a necessary adjustment or a strategic misstep?Light refreshments will be served. Ambassador Frank Lavin's Inside the Reagan White House: A Front-Row Seat to Presidential Leadership with Lessons for Today will be available for purchase at this event. We extend our sincere appreciation to Asia Society Southern California for its invaluable support in helping make this program possible.___________________________________________________________________Disclaimer: The perspectives and opinions expressed by the speaker(s) during this program are those of the speaker(s) and not, necessarily, those of Johns Hopkins University and the scheduling of any speaker at an alumni event or program does not constitute the University’s endorsement of the speaker’s perspectives and opinions.All event participants are asked to follow the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association Community Standards for Alumni Events.A portion of this registration fee will serve as a donation in support of future programming and events.  If you wish to not have a portion of your registration support such initiatives, you may contact the Office of Annual Giving: oag@jhu.edu.      While participating in off-campus events and meetings sponsored by the JHAA/JHM/JHHS participants must follow all public health guidelines mandated by the local jurisdiction and venue at the time of the event.

How are state leaders rising to meet the moment, and what innovations are emerging across the nation?U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously described states as the “laboratories of democracy,” places where bold ideas are tested and new paths are forged. Today, amid sweeping changes to the role of the U.S. Department of Education, that vision feels more relevant than ever.As a senior leader in the Louisiana Department of Education, Narechania helped architect one of the most significant school improvement efforts in the country. Today, she partners with leaders nationwide to design and implement education policies that meaningfully improve outcomes for young people. Join us for a compelling conversation at the intersection of policy, practice, and possibility.This event is made possible by the William H. Hedeman Endowment.The William H. Hedeman Day is made possible through the generosity of Elizabeth N. Hedeman and provides an annual program addressing the important topics of leadership, negotiation and related concepts. What began as a lectureship has grown to a full day of engagement with leaders across the education arena, to benefit students, faculty, staff, partners and the wider Baltimore community. Each year, this event honors the legacy of Mr. Hedeman, who taught negotiations for many years at the Johns Hopkins University McCoy College. He also served as Director of Procurement for the Bendix Corporation, later known as the Raytheon Company.state-of-education

In a world of mystery and chaos, how do we (and why should we) be concerned with clarity and precision? How might a poet concerned with communicating something "true" about human experience contend with ambivalence, ambiguity, and uncertainty? Together we'll explore prosodic and formal strategies for enhancing both the clarity and complexity of our work. We'll discuss what makes certain poems unclear and what makes others vivid and precise even as they take mystery and confusion as their very subjects.Together, we'll dive into poems from the 16th century to the present, with a primary focus on work from the latter half of the 20th century. We'll encounter Louis MacNeice, Renee Gladman, Anne Sexton, Wallace Stevens, Jericho Brown, Emily Dickinson, WH Auden, Tracy K Smith, James Wright, Amy Clampitt, Derek Walcott, James Dickey, Sharon Olds, Major Jackson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Elizabeth Alexander, and many others.We'll also read and discuss craft essays by writers such as Ellen Bryant Voigt, Donald Justice, Carl Phillips, John Frederick Nims, Kathleen Jamie, John Shoptaw, and Jane Hirschfield.The course will culminate in a one-day workshop, during which students will have the opportunity to share their own writing and receive feedback from their instructor and their peers.Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

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. Students will also have opportunities to share their biggest decluttering challenges so that we can come up with solutions together.As a courtesy, class sessions will be recorded for students who have to miss a session.*Top Rated Instructor*What Past Participants Are Saying...“The instructor was wonderful. Participation was encouraged and friendly, and we were provided tools for decluttering that were inspiring. After each class, I was inspired to take on a decluttering project at home and will continue.”“Excellent Class. I’ve de-cluttered several times and still learned lots. Highly recommend.”“John Lim had clearly researched and prepared for the class. He was extremely well organized and easy to follow. He left us with valuable sources we could use in our declutter journey.” Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Moser, Creative Writing,From Meiji to Murakami: Japanese Short Stories from the 20th and 21st Centuries, Japanese, Course Title: From Meiji to Murakami: Japanese Short Stories from the 20th and 21st CenturiesInstructor: Pheobe Oathout, A&S ’23 (MFA)Brought to you by Odyssey  March 24 - April 28, 2026Tuesdays, 7:00PM - 9:00PM ET (6 Sessions)Virtual via ZoomCourse Description: “Meiji to Murakami” is a course available to continuing education students looking to study a literary aesthetic while playing with it in quick, individual exercises. All texts will be read in English translations.For readers and writers alike, this course explores the art of the Japanese short story—from the campy humor of old masters to the delicate experimentation of contemporaries. The goals of this course are to introduce students to twentieth and twenty-first century Japanese short prose, and to create work that engages with the styles and concepts of these writers. As we read, students will reflect on several questions: How has Japanese identity, statehood, and culture been represented over the years? How have writers grappled with Westernization while still remaining distinctly Japanese? How do these works respond to the growing popularity of Japanese culture abroad while resisting maudlin narratives about samurai and seppuku? Do the pieces we read about 9-to-5 office dread feel distinct from how Americans discuss wage labor?Weekly topics will include Japan and the West, The Comedy of Japanese Manners, Reimagining the Samurai, Modern Life and Office Dread, Postwar Reckoning, and Natural versus Manmade Calamities. Stories we read will include “Rashōmon” by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, “Town of Cats” by Haruki Murakami, “The Victim” by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, and “The Silver Fifty-Sen Pieces” by Yasunari Kawabata, among others.As we reflect on these topics, students will write short-short fiction or nonfiction that draws upon the aesthetics and sensibilities of the authors we read. These pieces may be flash pieces or beginnings of longer work, produced during class time and not required to share publicly—although students will be given the opportunity to if they like.Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

GovernmentAcademiaLawPolicy SNFAgoraInstitute HopkinsatHome March 31, March 31, Tuesdayhopkins at home, snf agora, democracy• Featuring SNF Agora Senior Fellow and Professor of Practice Yascha Mounk • Presented by Hopkins at Home and The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University Artificial intelligence is reshaping fundamental institutions—from college classrooms to government bureaucracies. In higher education, AI tools now handle assignments that have long been central to student learning, raising questions about what universities should teach when machines can generate competent academic work. In the public sphere, AI promises both improved government services and new tools for disrupting civic processes—an arms race whose outcome remains uncertain.  Building on SNF Agora’s February 2026 debate on AI and the future of work, Yascha will share his insights on how AI is transforming both how we educate future citizens and how democratic institutions function. Rather than treating these as separate challenges, he’ll  explore their fundamental connections to what undergirds who we are and how we can govern ourselves. What capacities do students need to be democratic citizens in an AI-driven world? What does this mean for the future of democratic processes? And which of the existential threats of AI might turn out to be our biggest hope? Listen to Yascha’s recent podcast on the way AI is changing politics and learn what he thinks about how colleges are surrendering to AI.  Moderated by SNF Agora Assistant Director Mary Bruce.  Presented by Hopkins at Home and The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Disclaimer: The perspectives and opinions expressed by the speaker(s) during this program are those of the speaker(s) and not, necessarily, those of Johns Hopkins University and the scheduling of any speaker at an alumni event or program does not constitute the University’s endorsement of the speaker’s perspectives and opinions.
