Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins.


Barack Obama

Previous My Learning Circles

These are some of our past offerings. Let us know what ones you are interested in having us run again. At My Learning Circles, we are committed to non-stop growth and learning. Please let us know if there is a new book or program that you think would be a good fit for a new Learning Circle.

Audio/Online

Podcasts and other audio based programming

  • Seeing White: The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identify politics.  Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice and hiring.  Some of this feels new, but in truth it's an old story. 
  •  Indian Country 101: The mantra became “effective tribal engagement starts with knowledge and context.”   

  • Land That's Never Been Yet: Touches on authoritarianism, voter suppression, and gerrymandering; concerns about foreign intervention, election security, and the role of money in politics.  
  • Capitalism: The history of capitalism, from its emergence in Europe 500 years ago up to the present, and alternatives, from reforms of capitalism as we know it to more radical transformations.
