MINERVA ACADEMY OF LIFELONG LEARNING
ACADEMIC COURSES
We offer a wide variety of courses for many different audiences with academic purposes
Welcome to Minerva Academy of Lifelong Learning, an online hub for stimulating, dynamic, engaging, and informative lifelong learning courses. Lifelong learners study for their own reasons, following their curiosity where it takes them rather than jumping through hoops or meeting expectations set by others.
Minerva’s offerings are designed to draw learners of every age into sophisticated, critical dialogue. We address learners who do not want to be condescended to and instead appreciate the exposure to current scholarship and new, challenging ideas, especially when it is relevant to understanding the world around us and when the material is presented in accessible but detailed and intelligent ways.
Social Philosophy Courses
Join exclusive sessions on politics, social issues, climate change, and the economy. Perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of today’s challenges or engage with thought leaders shaping the future. Remember, learning has no age limit—it's never too early or too late to explore the crucial topics that shape our world.

THE FUTURE OF MINERVA’S OFFERINGS
Minerva has been dormant for the fall of 2020 as David shifted his focus to his regular teaching duties at Sarah Lawrence and also offered an online course on “Urgent Issues, Extraordinary Politics: National Elections at a Time of Intersecting Crises and National Polarization” via the Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco.
With the national elections now behind us but the coronavirus still very much at large, we will resume courses in January of 2021, looking to continue our focus on the urgent political issues facing American and world citizens today, as well as examining the larger social, economic, cultural and technological contexts that allow for a deeper understanding of these issues.
But as we enter the new year, we will also look to expand our offerings, bringing in new instructors to cover a broader range of subjects, and also offering a weekly lecture on contemporaneous political developments.
