Great Decisions — Global Affairs Discussion (OLLI)

The purpose of this course is to learn and discuss the critical
global issues affecting our society. Our discussion will be
based on materials provided by the Great Decisions program
developed by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA). Course
structure is as follows:

• Topics will be discussed over the course of seven weeks.

• Prior to the class meeting, students would read a section of the Great Decisions Briefing Book on the topic of the day.

• At the outset of each class, students would watch a 20–25-minute DVD lecture on the day’s topic.

• During the remainder of the class, students would discuss the day’s topic, based on resources and their own understanding of current events.

We hope you can join us for these important discussions.
