SUMMARY:‘As We Are’? – E.F. Benson - T410
DESCRIPTION:Edward Frederic Benson (‘Fred’\,1867-1940) was a well-connected Edwardian author who had connections within Surrey society of the time. His novels\, reminiscences and horror stories are both celebrated and much-admired. His series\, about small town life in the 1920s\, illuminates with comical detail how socially-aspirational people interact – still very recognizable today! \nLearn more about Edward’s life as the third son of the Archbishop of Canterbury and be fascinated by how the very strict moral tone of Fred’s youth contributed to the outlook of the grown man. Sue and Alfred will bring his story to life with a selection of his work. \nWe’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities\, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this\, please call the team or visit us in person.

SUMMARY:News\, Fake News\, and Propaganda - GI 26 147
DESCRIPTION:The rise of ‘Fake News’ has come as a shock. Once we happily assumed what we heard or read was fundamentally true\, we recognised propaganda and felt confident that we all shared the same world. \nThis course will attempt to plot a path through the blizzards of misinformation. Each week we will examine some statements we have read or heard\, then try to decipher the truth. By the final week we aim to map out an approach which will help keep us close to the straight and narrow!
