Propose a Study Group

Study groups are organized and led or co-led by OLLI members on a wide variety of topics designed to encourage active discussion and engagement. Study groups meet during multiple sessions throughout the year, and typically meet for 6 to 8 sessions.

Member-facilitated study groups continue to expand and reach new audiences, and many of our members report that the discussion-oriented, interactive format of the study groups is the most rewarding part of their OLLI experience.

Recent study group topics have included:
• Refugees, Migrants, Asylum Seekers, Foreign Workers: Recent Movies from Europe
• Reaching for the Ineffable – Toni Morrison on Race and Gender
• Ancient Greek Philosophers after Aristotle: The Cynics, Epicureans, Stoics, and Skeptics
• Homelessness in the United States
• The Writers’ Café

This is just a small sampling of the exciting conversations that have been fostered by OLLI study groups.

Ideas and proposals are always welcomed — and we urge you to consider becoming a study group participant or facilitator! If you are interested in proposing a study group, please complete the form found at this link: Study Group Proposal Form
