Each member of the class will give a biographical talk lasting about 50 minutes followed by questions and discussion, and coffee at the Maypole. Last's year's talks featured Nancy Pelosi, George Forrest, Kenneth Clark, Jan Morris, Pope Pius IX, Adelaide of Orleans, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, William Cobbett, Shirley Williams, Thomas Cochrane, Alexander van Humboldt, Marshall Mannerheim, Winnie Seebolm, Ryzard Kapuscinski, Benjamin Franklin, Mohammed Yunus, W. G. Hoskins, Arthur Koestler, King John, Alexei Navalny and Emperor Justinian. Some people read their talks, others relied on notes; some people used Powerpoint or distributed a handout.
