This lecture examines images of good and evil found in one of the greatest paintings of all times, the 16th century Isenheim Altarpiece. Painted specifically for patients who suffered from three dreaded diseases, it was placed in a hospital as a mirror of their experience. Our job is to ask how and why? Where are the doctors? Where are the patients? And, where is the devil in Isenheim?

Soldiers learned mountaineering, skiing and other survival skills in order to endure extremely adverse outdoor winter conditions in Europe during World War II. By late January of 1945, all 10th Mountain troops were stationed at the foot of the Italian Apennines where German troops were positioned blocking Allied Troops from moving north.

You’re invited to an afternoon chat with New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Land as she talks to us about her new memoir, Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education.
In Class, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn, including a byzantine loan system, not having enough money for food, and navigating the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn’t understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line—Land finds a way to survive once again, finally graduating in her mid-thirties.
Class paints an intimate and heartbreaking portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. In clear, candid, and moving prose, Class offers a searing indictment of America’s educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother’s triumph against all odds.
