Rebellions Are Built on Hope - in SPACE!

[eldritchhobbit]

Now confirmed! Here are the details of the new three-part online module for SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) that I'll be offering for Signum University in Spring 2026.

Rebellions Are Built On Hope: A Star Wars Series

Over nearly half a century of storytelling, Star Wars has challenged audiences to find their own agency and power in the face of injustice and tyranny. The Star Wars works Andor (2022, 2025), Rogue One (2016), and A New Hope (1977) fit together to provide a story of resistance, resilience, and rebellion built on a deep engagement with history, philosophy, and political thought. Join Dr. Amy H. Sturgis as we consider how Star Wars wrestles with big ideas, invites conversation and action, and inspires hope in unprecedented times.

This SPACE series consists of three hybrid modules:

• Module 1 (Only 1 seat left!) (Feb. 2026) covers the series Andor, Season 1 (more info here);


• Module 2 (March 2026) covers the series Andor, Season 2 (more info here); and


• Module 3 (April 2026) covers the films Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (more info here).

I would loooove to book these classes, but 7pm Eastern is past my bedtime!!

I can totally understand that! Thanks for even considering it. We've had a great run with the earlier times (mornings Eastern time) for the Hunger Games series, but it looks like there's much more demand for the later times for the Star Wars series. I'm sorry! It would've been lovely to share this adventure with you. Maybe next time! I hope your new year is off to a good start.

New Year? So far so good! Hopefully for you too - 🖖
