STUDY HALL SEMINAR: THE ART OF SPECULATIVE FICTION
What makes fictional places feel real? Why do certain characters stay with us long after the story ends? Led by writer and professor Jen Howard, this four-part course will examine how writers and artists construct imagined worlds that resonate deeply with our real lives.
Through readings, discussion, and explorations of speculative genres (fantasy, sci-fi, and magical realism), we'll consider how world-building reflects cultural values, how alternate futures critique the present, and how fictional characters reframe the human experience.

STUDY HALL SEMINARS
Pull up a chair at Study Hall, a thoughtful seminar series investigating our relationship with art and the ideas that make it so compelling.
Led by artists, writers, and creative thinkers who live and breathe their crafts, Study Hall offers a unique opportunity to deepen your appreciation of artistic expression and its connection to everyday life. Whether it's uncovering how fictional worlds can feel so real, rethinking our relationship with time and happiness, or exploring the human impulse to collect, our seminars invite you to see the world in a new light.
Study Hall convenes on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, with six unique courses offered annually.
