SUMMARY:Cross-Country Skiing at MECCA
DESCRIPTION:At the conclusion of this course\, students will understand the basics of both diagonal stride and skate style skiing\, as regards both technique and equipment. They will be able to stand comfortably on skis\, compress each ski and grip the snow\, kick off and then repeat with the opposite leg. They will be able to glide forward on the gliding ski after their kick\, maintaining balance\, as they shift their weight forward over the gliding ski. They will be able to engage their poles at the proper time and angle\, pushing to assist forward movement. \nThe course will cover the following topics: \nBasic equipment and how to wear/attach. Dress. Types of Nordic skiing. How to stand up with skis if (when!) you fall. Kicking without poles. Gliding. Weight shift forward. Pushing with poles. Edging. Skate turns down small hill.  Herringbone up a small hill. Sidestep up a steeper hill. Snowplow to a stop\, single and double ski. Marathon skate.  Skate ski down small hill. \nRequirements: Students should have the basic ability to balance: ability to stand on one foot for at least 5 seconds.  They should also be able to fall onto snow from a standing still position without undue worry about injury. Previous experience on skis is not required but welcomed. \nFee: $30\, with a $5 early-bird discount if registration is received by December 28. Rent skis for $5/session. Scholarships available. \nFe University thanks the MECCA Experience Fund for subsidizing this class. MECCA relies on memberships\, donations and volunteers to maintain facilities and trails. Consider contributing via their website\, which also includes information about current trail conditions\, maps\, events\, and more. \nCOVID-19 Requirements: FeU and Instructor require that all students are fully vaccinated and wear masks indoors at the warming shelter\, regardless of vaccination status.

SUMMARY:The “Anglo-Saxons”: History\, Legacy and Myth
DESCRIPTION:In April 2021\, a congresswoman from Georgia moved to declare the United States an “Anglo-Saxon nation” (the House of Representatives suppressed the move). And in September\, the French president withdrew France’s ambassador from Washington\, D.C.\, enraged at what he called the U.S. preference for alliance with “the Anglo-Saxon world” over its 250-year alliance with France. These offhand and seemingly innocuous comments raise a number of interesting questions. Why do references to medieval English peoples collectively known as “Anglo-Saxons” appear so frequently in modern times? Is it just shorthand for the English-speaking nations of the world\, or is there more to it than that? Who were the Anglo-Saxons anyway\, and what\, if any\, is their significance for us today\, a thousand years after they were soundly defeated and brutally suppressed by their Norman conquerors? This course will examine these questions and more—discovering as we do just who and what the Anglo-Saxons were and why they remain an important thread in the complex story of Western culture. \nClass 1\, Jan. 27: The Germanic invasions of Britain and the rise of the seven “Anglo-Saxon” kingdoms\, ca. 400-800 \nClass 2\, Feb. 3rd: The Viking invasions and the emergence of a centralized “English” (or “Anglish”) monarchy\, ca. 800-1066 \nClass 3\, Feb. 10th: Harold\, the last Anglo-Saxon king\, and the Norman Conquest of 1066: Legacy of the Anglo-Saxons \nClass 4\, Feb. 17th: The evolution of the modern myth of the “Anglo-Saxon nations” \nRequirements: There are no requirements for taking this course other than an interest in the topic. There will be weekly readings that will be provided by the instructor. Students will also be invited to watch a recent Netflix video\, The Dig\, before the first class if possible. And those interested will be invited to watch a video production (provided by the instructor) of Beowulf as it would have been performed (not read) in a 9th-century English hall. \nInstructor: Dr. Mary Magray (click link for bio) \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment.
