Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
Ayn Rand: Much Adored, Often Dismissed, Mostly Misunderstood–OLLI Study Group (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Class meets Tuesdays, April 16 - June 18
Adored by the Tea Party, admired by the libertarians, summarily dismissed by liberals, selectively championed by conservatives, Ayn Rand remains an enigma. Love her or hate her, ignore her we shouldn't: for she was brilliant, deviant and arrogant; and is still widely read. This lecture-discussion course will use Anne Heller's biography, “Ayn Rand and The World She Made”, take several detours and deep dives into her fiction and non-fiction work, feature interviews and other artifacts. The sessions will be led by Deb Mukherjee.
