Living Room Learning

True to its name, Living Room Learning was organized by a group of Atlanta women who had a passion for learning past their university years attending Sweet Briar College and held classes in the living rooms of their homes. Over the years, lecturers have included some of the greatest scholarly minds in Georgia discussing topics related to history, art, literature, and much more.

The series gradually expanded and became more popular, growing from 12 women to hundreds of people, necessitating the move outside of living rooms and to a formal lecture hall.

We hope you will join us for our next series which will continue our exploration of the American Revolution. In honor of the 250^th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, lectures will focus on the conflict itself, its leaders, and the many complicated questions raised by the struggle for independence and founding a new country.

The series will begin on January 26, 2026 and will continue each Monday until March 9, 2026. All lectures will take place in McElreath Hall. Doors open at 1:30pm and lectures begin promptly at 2pm with a brief intermission. Parking is free. Series registration will be available beginning in September 2025.
