Thank you to Yale for offering these course. It is a generous gift to the thousands of people who would have benefitted from Yale, but of course Yale can’t take everyone. So for those of us who care, this most kind and deeply appreciate. Wight Martindale
Great to hear that Yale is offering courses and am sure it’s appreciated.
Amazing gesture and amazing initiative !
I do not know if the world will become a better place but it will surely become smarter:) Thank you Yale!
Beware of “Foundations of Modern Social Theory!” Iván Szelényi may know about social theory, but his knowledge of English history, at least, is abysmal. In lecture #2, on Hobbs, he states, for instance, that Henry XVIII had three wives, the first of whom was Catherine of “Avignon” (she was actually Cathrine of Aragon). Then he confuses Mary I of England with Mary, Queen of Scots, and has Mary I “resigning” the throne and later being executed by Elisabeth I. There are several other mistakes which I won’t list here..I can’t believe Yale University let this video out. Granted, the lecturer isn’t a historian, but he could have had an intelligent history student fact-check his material!
Great oportunity
