    With the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the disability rights movement, the gay rights movement, the me-too movement, and others, why do stereotyping and discrimination persist even though most of us are sincerely convinced we are unbiased?  This research-based and participatory course, focusing on many equity-related issues, will delve below the surface of our conscious thoughts and attitudes to cast light on what we don’t realize we think and believe — and act on.   By making the unconscious conscious, we control our attitudes and behaviors.  Otherwise, they control us.

    Jo Sanders had a career as an educational researcher in gender equity, working with thousands of teachers and education professors nationwide to be more effective for both sexes in the classroom.  She has published ten books and dozens of book chapters and research papers, and has given speeches and workshops across the US and internationally.  She is the founder and director of the Lifelong Learning Program.


    Announcing the 2019-2020 Lifelong Learning Program Courses


    The Lifelong Learning Program at the Centro Cultural / Instituto Allende provides San Miguel de Allende residents and visitors with the opportunity of taking courses designed for self-enrichment, intellectual stimulation, and fun. Courses are designed for adult learners by skilled instructors. All program staff and instructors are volunteers in order to keep tuition as low as possible. All courses take place in the Lifelong Learning Program classroom on the upper level of the Instituto, Ancha de San Antonio 22.


    We offer approximately two dozen courses from October through March. There are two to seven two-hour classes per course. For schedules and fees, which include social hour snacks after each class, or lunch in one-day courses, please see course descriptions below. The program is an excellent way to meet interesting new people and to indulge your intellectual curiosity. Now you can finally take those intriguing courses you never had time to take in school, but with no homework, exams, or grades!
