Wednesday, April 23—Paul Cezanne: The Father of Modern Art.
Paul Cézanne is among the most celebrated painters in the canon. Cézanne’s work bridged the gap between Impressionism and the pioneering developments in the School of Paris during the early 20th century. This pre-recorded One Day University lecture explores why Pablo Picasso believed Cezanne was “the father of us all,” and how his remarkable paintings had a profound impact on generations of artists.

Wednesday, May 28—1968: The Extraordinary Events of a Memorable Year. It was a decade of hope — and disillusionment. A time of promise — and backlash. An era animated by youthful idealism — and frustrated by political disappointment. We entered the decade inspired by a president, stirred by a dream, and dancing innocently. We ended the decade sobered by a brutal war, bloodied protesters, burning cities, and a nation coming apart. 1968 put a charge in the emerging culture war that would define American politics and culture for decades to come. Join us for a pre-recorded lecture from One Day University to understand the Sixties generation — and who we are as a nation — and see how 1968 shaped and influenced our history.
Registration opens soon.
Wednesday, June 25—National Parks and American Democracy. The National Parks are environmental treasures that embody the spirit of democracy, inspiring debate about American culture, identity, and history. From the industrial age to racial justice, the National Parks have offered Americans a stage to reflect on, and address, some of society’s most pressing issues. Join Professor Newman of One Day University for this pre-recorded lecture focusing on several National Parks that tell a powerful story about American democracy. Yellowstone and Yosemite offer iconic natural landscapes that raise critical questions about land use, environmental sustainability, and the displacement of indigenous people in American history. On the other side of the country, Seneca Falls Women’s Rights National Historical Park and Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park illuminate the struggle for equal rights in the United States.
