SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Here\, There and Everywhere: A Global Women’s Movement that Changed the World
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes author\, Elayne Clift\, to lead this five-session course on how women—individually and collectively—have advanced equality and human rights from ancient times to today. Through presentations\, discussion\, short readings\, and video clips\, participants reflect on women’s experiences and activism through the lens of gender in an engaging\, shared learning environment. We begin with notable women of the ancient and medieval worlds\, then move through major social movements across the centuries\, including the Suffrage Movement (1848–1920). The course examines the Women’s Movement of the 1960s and ’70s\, the global impact of the United Nations Decade for Women conferences and the 1995 Beijing Conference and concludes with 21st-century leaders who continue to shape social justice through advocacy\, political leadership\, and organizational change. This class will meet on Fridays\, May 22\, 29\, June 5\, 12\, 19. more information or to register\, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - The Art of Corn
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes food scholar and author\, Darra Goldstein\, to talk about The Art of Corn. This program looks at imagery that takes corn as its subject\, in the process showing how corn moves from material to metaphor. From ancient Aztec statues to high-fashion couture\, art that depicts corn or uses it as a medium goes beyond the aesthetic to reveal larger societal and cultural concerns. This talk explores the sociocultural meanings of corn as represented in paintings\, photographs\, and other art forms\, including handicrafts like corncob dolls.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Iran and the Near East: War\, Consequence\, and the Uncertain Road Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes author and former United States Ambassador to Croatia\, Peter Galbraith\, to talk about the situation in Iran and the Near East. In the spring of 2026\, the United States launched military operations against Iran\, opening a new and consequential chapter in the long and troubled history between the two nations. But what comes next? This talk will examine the origins\, conduct\, and human costs of the conflict — and wrestle honestly with the hardest question of all: what kind of Iran will emerge from the rubble? Drawing on historical precedent\, regional expertise\, and frank reflection on the limits of military power\, Galbraith will explore three plausible futures — a Iran nudged toward political reform\, a successor regime more hardline and hostile than the one it replaced\, or a descent into prolonged civil war and fragmentation. This is not a lecture with easy answers but an invitation to think carefully and grapple with a crisis that will shape the region — and American foreign policy — for generations.
