Programs

In the ancient Greek paideia tradition, shared inquiry utilizes the Socratic seminar methodology wherein participants actively and collaboratively respond, challenge, provide evidence for ideas, and engage in lively conversation surrounding given literary texts. The Great Books Foundation’s program has been engaged in shared inquiry for over 70 years with enormous impact. In each session, shared inquiry protocol will be presented by our knowledgeable and passionate instructor and member, Eva Benevento. Prior to class, you’ll receive the literature text via email (or at the SASC office) that will be used for inquiry in rich discussion. Feel free to read the text before the session.
