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.
