Odyssey Virtual July 08, July 8, WednesdayAGHI, Summer Spark, Emmanuel AwineCourse Title: Healing After HarmInstructor: Emmanuel J. A. AwineJuly 8 - July 29, 2026 (4 Sessions)Wednesdays, 10:00AM - 11:30AM ET Course Description: This course will use history as a critical lens to examine the roots of contemporary health outcomes and health behaviors, as well as global conversations about structural inequalities. Investigate how a historical perspective can illuminate modern medical practices by revealing how past experiences, particularly slavery, colonialism, and racialized scientific research, continue to shape present-day healthcare systems, medical decision-making, and wellness outcomes. Through short documentaries, narrative accounts, and case studies, explore the enduring impact of unethical medical experimentation, the extraction and use of biological materials without consent, and the long-term consequences of racialized research practices. Particular attention will be given to contemporary issues such as vaccine hesitancy and medical mistrust in West Africa, as well as among Black and marginalized communities in the United States. Analyze key case studies, including the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the story of Henrietta Lacks, and the history of medical colonialism in West Africa. These examples will enable students to critically analyze the legacy of medical racism and its impact on trust in healthcare systems. Students will develop the analytical tools necessary to engage in public debates on inherited and collective trauma, recognizing that historical stressors are not the result of individual choice but of conditions shaped by historical processes. Critically engage the concepts of healing and reconciliation as both historical and public health imperatives. A central focus will be the emerging work of the Museum of Healing and Reconciliation, examined as a living case study. How can a museum move beyond representing histories of suffering to function as an active site for community repair, truth-telling, and psychological well-being? ____________________________________________Four weeks.

AlexanderGrassHumanitiesInstitute Odyssey Virtual July 10, July 10, FridayAGHI, Summer Spark, Leib CelnikCourse Title: Resisting Time: A Brief History of Art ConservationInstructor: Leib CelnikJuly 10 - July 31. 2026 (4 Sessions)Fridays, 12:00PM - 1:30PM ET Course Description: Stewards of material culture have consciously chosen what to preserve and how best to do so. How has the preservation and restoration of art changed over time? What does it tell us about cultural heritage and the adoption of scientific approaches to problems of their preservation more broadly? This course explores these choices through the history of art conservation, focusing on Europe and North America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We will discuss the emergence of the field of conservation alongside the rise of museums, scientific techniques for studying art, and even court cases in which conservators served as expert witnesses.Students will explore moments in conservation through historical documents and scholarly studies to understand the values, practices, and impacts of repairing and preserving art. Each week will focus on a different phase of conservation, from the practices of artists repairing works, to the emergence of conservation as a distinct profession. Alongside this historical trajectory, the course will ask how the ethics of conservation have changed over time and the roles contemporary science and technology played in shaping the field. Discussions will focus on lectures and reading historical documents, including training for first time history students.____________________________________________________Four weeks. Four courses.

Baltimore-based acoustic trio The Bayberries (Hana Morford, Samantha Flores, and Danielle Williams) will perform original music rooted in bluegrass and folk traditions, with classical touches and global influences. The program will invite audiences to consider how music has shaped human relationships with the natural world and with one other.

Created, collected, and passed down by women from the early nineteenth through the twentieth centuries, these volumes reveal how music has preserved cultural memory and connected generations of families and communities. Together, the music and materials will illuminate how people have long turned to both nature and song as sources of meaning, continuity, and connection. RegistrationCapacity is limited.

We'll think about what constitutes a poem in the absence of its most recognizable feature: the line, and what constitutes a short story where narrative meets intense compression. Through close reading and weekly writing exercises, we'll explore questions of craft that are central to writing well across genre: how do you create, maintain, and diffuse moments of lyric intensity? How do you channel energy efficiently toward the heart of a story? How do you make use of the sentence as a unit of music and meaning? We'll read authors including Claudia Rankine, Gunnhild Øyehaug, Victoria Chang, Russell Edson, Lydia Davis, and Diane Williams. Together, we'll discuss how they handle image, syntax, rhythm, narrative, and closure. Over six weeks together, you'll draft and workshop your own pieces, with an emphasize on process rather than polish or perfection.

In the context of the Emancipation of the Russian serfs, he expands the realist novel to evoke folkloric Russian figures and to question the very meaning of historical inquiry. In addition to reading Richard Pevear’s and Larissa Volokhonsky’s superb translation, students will watch the 8 installments of the British TV 14th’s award-winning 2016 adaption of the novel (directed by Tom Harper). The cinematic portrayal of the three leading characters will enhance the participants’ experience of reading.The novel abounds in unforgettable scenes that enlarge the leading characters such as the incident at the outset, in which Pierre Bestuzhev, the true hero of the novel, first dances with a bear, and then, with a drunken friend, puts animal in a coach. When a policeman stops them, they tie the officer to the bear and toss the two into the Moika, St. Petersburg’s famous river. In another sequence Prince Andre, who seeks military glory, is wounded and looking up the sky realizes the hugeness of the universe. A third, involves Natasha Rostova, Prince Andrei’s betrothed, and later Pierre’s beloved wife. She discovers one face of herself in a wild peasant dance in a hunting lodge and another when she evacuates her family from the advancing French and oversees the removal of the wounded from the Battle of Borodino. The six scheduled lectures will treat the context in which Tolstoy wrote the novel and expected it to be understood. There are no written assignments and there will be time to discuss the text and the films.Explore the full Fall 2026 Odyssey catalog and discover engaging courses taught by Johns Hopkins alumni, faculty and community experts.__________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Kennedy’s legacy is as prominent as ever. How much do we really know about John Kennedy the man and his presidency? What were his achievements and shortcomings? We begin our journey by focusing on the world Kennedy was born into and the family legacies that shaped him.

Odyssey August 29, August 29, Saturdayodyssey, moser, poetry, writing, glückThe Many Voices of Louise GlückInstructor: Nathan Blansett, A&S, ’21 (MFA)August 29 - October 3 (6 Sessions)Saturdays, 2:00PM - 4:00PM ETVirtual va ZoomBrought to you by Odyssey Course Description: In 2020, when the Swedish Academy named the American poet Louise Glück as the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, they cited her “unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.” Glück’s consistent themes (as she put it, “the great human subjects: time which breeds loss, desire, the world’s beauty”) earned her many honors and many readers, yet her thirteen books of poems showcase a protean, ever-changing way of writing. This course will reckon with the lasting gift of Glück’s many unmistakable voices.Over six weeks, we’ll proceed chronologically through Glück’s oeuvre, briefly attending to the strained performances of Firstborn (1968), her debut she came to disavow. We’ll then turn our attention to the mythic and haunted personae of her more sophisticated early books, like The House on Marshland (1975) and Descending Figure (1980). Afterward, we’ll compare the astringent Ararat (1990) with the dazzling polyphony of The Wild Iris (1993) and the real tragicomedy that is Meadowlands (1997), alongside other books from Glück’s middle period, including Vita Nova (1999) and Averno (2006). We’ll finish our course closely reading Glück’s late work—from the meditative and novelistic A Village Life (2009) to the spare and strange Winter Recipes from the Collective (2021), her final volume, where “the world goes by, / all the worlds, each more beautiful than the last.”Our journey through Glück’s poems will be punctuated by relevant selections from her literary criticism and autobiographical prose. In addition, there will be opportunities to create and workshop original work inspired by what we read, shared for peer and instructor feedback. Participants need no prior writing experience or knowledge about poetry.Explore the full Fall 2026 Odyssey catalog and discover engaging courses taught by Johns Hopkins alumni, faculty and community experts.__________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Baltimore, MD September 25, September 25, FridayThe final chapter of healing is to help others along the journey, and we can think of no better way than to support the on-going efforts of the Johns Hopkins CRC Center of Research Excellence at the Kimmel Cancer Center, where they are focused on developing treatments for longer and better survivorship while also discovering advancements for earlier detection and prevention. Great clinicians, scientists and support teams doing great things! George Davis and his wife, Patricia, along with the Trey Mancini Foundation invite you to a night of celebration - great food, an open bar, and wonderful entertainment - while honoring the Johns Hopkins Colorectal Cancer Center. Our goal is to raise funding for the Center, while also creating more local awareness and to celebrate survivorship. We are excited to inform everyone that we have secured some great music for our event on September 25th at Gertrude’s to honor the CRC Center of Research Excellence! Special acoustic performance by famed luthier, Paul Reed Smith and Kimmel Cancer Center Director, Dr. Bill Nelson with members of their band PRS Eightlock have agreed to play for us. Get to Know Eightlock. There has been an alarming increase in early-onset colorectal cancer over the past decade. Today, almost a third of rectal cancers are diagnosed in people under the age of 55. Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer when they are young are often plagued with delays in diagnosis due to their symptoms being overlooked by both patients and their doctors, assuming the causes to be benign. Once diagnosed, these patients have to juggle many competing priorities, often being in the time of life when they are caring for children and elderly parents while also in the prime of their work life as well. Issues of fertility, finances, childcare, and other psychosocial challenges can be very daunting. And considering their young age, long term issues of survivorship and chronic medical challenges also need to be addressed. There is also an ongoing question as to why we are seeing this rise in early-onset disease and if there is a difference in the optimal treatment for these patients. In the face of these realities, we are launching a new parallel clinic at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Center for early onset colorectal cancer. The goal of this clinic will be to ensure that early onset CRC patients will have all the added supports they need in their care during their treatment and after. In addition, we will concurrently probe the important research questions regarding why we are seeing these shifts in cancer incidence in the young, hoping to work towards reversing that trend.

Taking on a big project like this can be intimidating. This course will provide a framework to break this down into reasonable, and realistic steps to make writing and publishing a book an achievable goal. Learn the "anatomy" of a book, how to get your ideas organized, how to overcome writer's block, and self-publish on Amazon KDP: one of the biggest publishing platforms in the world.What Past Participants Are Saying...“In all honesty, I was not educated on the book world or author world but after taking your class, I felt beyond ready to release my first poetry book! 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.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Odyssey October 20, October 20, TuesdayOdyssey, Quarles, Backlash and BackTalkersInstructor: Ernest Quarles, Esq.October 20 - December 1 (6 Sessions - Skips Thanksgiving Week)Tuesdays, 7:00PM - 9:00PM ETVirtual va ZoomBrought to you by Odyssey Course Description: This course will explore the American story through the writings of women thinkers on the topics of race, justice, and human progress. By examining the evolution of feminist thought from the pioneers of the late nineteenth century to the present, students will better understand why the promise of a multiracial democracy remains unfulfilled, including the strategies and mechanisms that have been used to resist movements for equality and how they have evolved over time. Thought leaders like Kimberle Williams Crenshaw will guide our efforts to more accurately frame American history, showing us in the process that while the government can try to ban words and manipulate history, there will always be backtalkers who will defend and memorialize the truth.In a national moment where the goal is to erase and silence truth, our course journey will enable us to explore and embrace the multi-racial core of our American identity and potentially take us to places where many have been reluctant to tread. The story of America has always been one of glaring contradictions; of soaring ambitions towards freedom, equality, and justice for all held back and down at every turn by bitter, often brutal forces of division. Forces that perpetually pit us against one another along lines of gender, race, religion, and class. In this course our collective aim will be to further expose and examine the divisive forces behind these historic contradictions and the harms they engender in a safe space that inspires and encourages us to write the next chapter of American history from a place of community, solidarity, and grace.__________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

We will consider the power of metaphor, allusion, and connotation as vehicles for expressing deeply held emotions. Funneling our most urgent concerns through the imaginative landscapes of pop culture, literature, nature, and history will allow us to reach toward emotional truth without necessarily revealing intimate details of our lives. By engaging in a variety of generative experiments (prompts), we’ll embrace the use of metaphorical masks and mirrors, inviting different voices—different “selves”—into our work. This course is open to all levels and does not require any prior experience writing poetry. Your writing and inspiration will be guided and supplemented by writing exercises, and you’ll receive feedback from both myself (instructor) and your peers during the workshop. We will seek inspiration from acclaimed poets such as Ross Gay, Terrance Hayes, Jaswinder Bolina, Patricia Smith, Louise Glück, Elizabeth Bishop, Francine J. Harris, Mary Ruefle, Michael Dumanis, and David Berman. __________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Odyssey October 22, October 22, ThursdayOdyssey, Webster, Health and WellnessGeorge Saunders and Ruth Ozeki: New Fiction Alchemizing the Secular and the SacredInstructor: Jerry Webster, PHDOctober 22 - November 19 (5 Sessions)Thursdays, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM ET Virtual va ZoomBrought to you by Odyssey Course Description: Celebrated American Buddhist writers and practitioners, George Saunders and Ruth Ozeki, continue to illuminate edges in our world: the profound, the earthy, the profane. These two authors write from the foundation of decades of Eastern spiritual study and practice, enabling us to encounter and enlarge our present world from such wellsprings. Their carefully crafted writings employ panoramic viewpoints plus an array of exploratory writing practices which together prove to be captivating reading. Simply put, their writings embody wide and deep uniqueness. Both writers have earned international acclaim for their visionary approach, such as Saunders being selected the 2017 Booker Award Winner for his work Lincoln in the Bardo and Ozeki being shortlisted for the 2013 Booker Award for her work A Tale for the Time Being. In his new novel Vigil, George Saunders again revisits the Bardo, the Tibetan Buddhist word for a major transition, a word especially used to describe the time right before one’s death, and indeed, the time thereafter. Saunders being Saunders, his work is at times mind-blowing, at times tearjerking. In The Typing Lady: And Other Fictions, Ruth Ozeki, a Zen Buddhist priest, opens us, through her eleven dramatic short stories, into a vast array of different settings, playing, dancing, with the concepts of time and space. With Ozeki, as usual, her poignant and heartfelt narratives ground themselves in an underlying tension regarding how one might begin first to heal oneself and then help to heal others.  In addition to analyzing the readings, this course will introduce participants to basic meditative teachings and techniques as formulated and practiced by these two writers. *Top Rated Instructor*__________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Kim, A&S, '25 (MFA)October 25 - December 6 (6 Sessions; no class Nov. 29)Sundays, 3:00PM - 5:00PM ET (12 - 2PM PT)Virtual va ZoomBrought to you by Odyssey Course Description: From the rapid industrialization under dictatorship of the 1970s to the democratization movement in 1987, South Korean science fiction has been a way to represent the South Korean political unconscious. In the introduction to the anthology, Readymade Bodhisattva, editor Sunyoung Park notes, “Science fiction is a rising and ever-shifting genre in South Korea today. Inspired by the activism of the past decades, more and more writers see the genre as the creative laboratory for reflecting on the opportunities and contradictions of modernization in a late-capitalist and postcolonial society.” More than ever, global audiences are familiar with South Korean visual media, but what about fiction? Over the course of six weeks, we will read a sampling of works published between 2005 and 2019 to find inspiration and possibility in the speculative imagination. In this class, we will get a chance to explore science fiction as a literature of ideas, and discover the critical relevance of these works as commentary on contemporary social, political, and environmental issues.In addition to the primary text, Readymade Bodhisattva, which includes works by Kim Bo-young, Kim Young-ha, Djuna, and Bok Geo-il, we will also read works by Kim Cho-yeop and Bora Chung, among others, to find ways to imagine outside our current circumstances and into another world. You’ll draft and workshop an exploratory draft your own speculative short story. This is a beginner level course. No prior writing experience required. __________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.
