Class | Registration opens 3/2/2026 9:00 AM EST
Where did writing symbols come from? Those A’s and T’s that make up this English sentence? Or the curlicues and lines found in Devanagari or Korean? This course will examine the fascinating world of scripts and their origins, touching upon the history and nature of language itself. Come with questions and curiosity.
