| Oct 8 Lecture: Religious Freedom or Religious Tyranny with Judy Brown |
| The latest clash in the constitutional culture wars is the invocation of “religious freedom” to justify refusing to comply with constitutional and statutory mandates. Examples abound: denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples; eliminating contraceptive coverage from health insurance plans; and even disallowing access to bathrooms. Judy Brown explores the evolution of that clash and points out some of the constitutional difficulties in resolving it. JUDY BROWN is Professor Emerita at Northeastern Law School, where she was a member of the faculty for 30 years. She has taught and written extensively on the United States Constitution, concentrating especially on federalism, constitutional rights, and issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation. For the past nine years she has led Osher classes on these and related subjects. $10 Tickets sold at the door.

| Oct 9 Travels with Charlie |
Day Hikes in Vermont to Places of Adventure
“I have lived in Vermont for 35 years, making furniture by hand. ‘Travels with Charlie’ is inspired by my desire to take a closer, deeper look into this beautiful state. I love fresh air, exercise, trees, nature, the environment, and also its human history. My longtime friend, Tim Travers, is the perfect guide and I’m excited to share this experience with our ShackletonThomas friends.” —Charles Shackleton
Join us for the perfect day hike to experience the best of Vermont. We will start the day by taking a leisurely hike through some of the most picturesque sections of the Appalachian Trail. Guided by Tim Traver — a seasoned wildlife refuge director, naturalist, guide, and traveler — you will learn about Vermont’s trees, stonewalls, vernal pools, birds, and land use history. Around noon, we will stop at a local Farm-to-Table venue for a fine lunch with a special guest speaker. To finish the day, we’ll take a short hike back to the ShackletonThomas Workshop Store where Charles Shackleton and Miranda Thomas will give a tour and illustrated talk on their life, work, and aesthetic philosophy of handmade furniture and pottery; tea and cookies are included.
With great appreciation for sustaining the natural beauty that surrounds us, we are donating 10% of the hike’s sales to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, whose mission is to ensure that the Appalachian Trail’s vast natural beauty and priceless cultural heritage can be shared and enjoyed today, tomorrow, and for centuries to come. |

| Oct 18 Drug Courts: Justice Meets Treatment Speaker: Chief Justice Tina Nadeau, NH Supe |
| Justice Tina Nadeau will describe an alternative approach to incarcerating offenders with addiction: Drug courts. Drug Courts have been analyzed for more than 20 years and the conclusion is clear: Jail and prison do not change behavior or addiction but drug courts can and do. The origins of drug courts and their success in addressing opioid and other addictions -- one of the nation's (and New Hampshire's) most critical social problems -- will be the focus of this annual Osher lecture. The Hon. TINA NADEAU, of Lee, NH, daughter of a retired jurist and Dartmouth grad, was appointed Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Superior Court by Gov. John Lynch in 2011. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1985 and her law degree from Franklin Pierce Law Center, now the University of New Hampshire Law Center. She is a board member of the New England Association of Drug Court Professionals as well as non-profit New Futures organization that works to prevent and reduce alcohol and other drug problems in New Hampshire. |
