What's New

Stay in the know!

Join our mailing list or email pcollege@hartford.edu with questions.

We’re cooking up an abundance for this fall:

  • supersonic flight,
  • femmes fatales in film,
  • recorded music then and now,
  • a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be a curator,
  • and modern detective fiction.

There’s more, of course: more of our Conversations series, more current events, more great books to discuss. But you’ll have to be patient for the rest!

Registration will open mid-August.
