Saturday Seminars
Experience the great books educational program at St. John’s College—by participating in a Saturday Seminar sponsored by the Friends of St. John’s College. These seminars attract about 200 participants from varied ages and walks of life, who gather for coffee and donuts before joining groups of 18-20 for seminars.
St. John’s faculty members, called tutors, have chosen 12 readings—classic works drawn from the St. John’s program—and will conduct seminars on each. Choose one of the topics listed, read the assigned text in advance, and then join with others on seminar day in a discussion of the work. No previous knowledge of the subject or author is required. No outside research on the topic is expected.
Registration is required and a fee will be charged. The Schedule of readings will be announced by December, 2010.
Seminar participants are responsible for their own text. All of the readings will be available at the St. John’s bookstore and most are also available at libraries, online as well as other bookstores.
