My good friend recently turned me onto an incredibly fascinating web series...Justice with Michael Sandel. Yes, it's a lecture series, from Harvard, not the new season of Grey's. When many people, including me sometimes, hear the word "lecture", the next words that are often thought of are not "riveting fascinating" but "oh no". Indeed, lectures, especially serial hour long lecture series, can be quite boring. But these, these are fascinating. Sandel is an excellent speaker, he's extremely intelligent but never looses his human aspect, or his since of gentle humor. The class interactions he sets up among his students are also extremely interesting and entertaining. Indeed, I find myself hanging onto Sandel's every word, and jealous of the students lucky enough to be in his class. Check it out! http://www.justiceharvard.org/
It's wonderful that great courses like this one are now on line. Thanks for introducing me to this one.
