Of what does religious conversion consist? There has been and continues to be alot of conversion in our American world.  We will see conversion as an integral part of the entire life of the convert, a part in which the convert has considerable creative agency.  We will look especially for both changes and continuities in converts’ lives across the conversion itself by consulting detailed case materials, some of them arising from my own research.  We will want to grasp conversion from the convert’s point oƒ view……. how the convert understands and experiences it, what it feels like and tastes like and smells like to the convert.  We will get to know a couple of religious converts real well.  Some lecture, more discussion

A concert/lecture survey of the unique aspects of the music of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Historically set between the eras of big bands and disco, students will enjoy hearing musical selections that are reminiscent of the diverse music of the ‘50s (rock and roll, classic rock, blues, country music) and how these various musical styles eventually gave way to the ‘60s (the huge British invasion of the Beatles, the rich harmonies of folk music, and even more rock and pop). Come to listen, to sing (muted), and mostly to look back on the endearing memories of a simpler time in the music of your life!  From “Love and Marriage” to “Hey, Jude,” “The answer is blowing in the wind!”

Lorraine Dutile Masure has led senior college courses about Broadway musicals across four academic venues during the past ten years. She continues to delight connecting with seniors and discussing the alluring world of music and theatre.
