Any fun classes for seniors? I love humanities btw ❤️

Do you like literature? I highly recommend a course on literature you might be less familiar with, like Modern Middle Eastern and Arabic Literature in Translation, or Knights, Castles, and Dragons (German lit in translation), or Black and Popular: Speculative Fictions by Black Writers, or Strange Doctors: Nineteenth Century Literature & Medicine.

If you're into philosophy, they're offering 2 classes this spring on the philosophy of film! — If you’re into philosophy, they’re offering 2 classes this spring on the philosophy of film!

Great suggestion! I love philosophy, and I love film, and the combo sounds unbeatable.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
