Whether I’m browsing in a bookstore, visiting a museum, or scrolling on the internet, I’m always searching for new books, films, exhibitions, podcasts, and other works to inspire ideas for classes and live conversations with authors and experts. My programs are interactive and designed to encourage critical thinking and lively discussion about significant themes in literature, history, social issues, film, and the arts.
Please scroll down below to see a complete list of my upcoming classes and programs, both online and in-person. I participate in several Continuing Education programs for lifelong learners, including the Scarsdale Adult School, the 92NY Roundtable, & the Center for Continuing Education in Larchmont / Mamaroneck. I also teach private classes and facilitate programs for non-profit organizations, clubs, and other groups online, in New York City, Westchester County and beyond.
