A NEW DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION SEMINAR SERIES

The Myth of the Lost Cause and the Delusions of Everyday Life

This seminar will be devoted to the careful reading and discussion of two books: Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southern’s Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause, by Ty Seidule; and, Delusions of Everyday Life, by Leonard Shengold. Seidule’s book recounts his coming to terms with his southern heritage and its unquestioned acceptance of slavery. Shengold’s book is an explication of how delusions function developmentally and continue to persist in adult character.

This course is open to all interested. However, enrollment is limited to the first 15 people to register.
