My Ph.D. is in philosophy (less formidable than it sounds) with background in literature, history, and religion. I recently retired from
Lansing Community College after 36 years of teaching philosophy, civilization, mythology and related humanities courses.
The excitement of ACE is mutual learning with mature, self-motivated adults - all the joy without grades or bureaucracy!
