Thelma OGrady
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: Paintings, Youth, and Radicalism with Hattie Bennett
Putin's War Propaganda

This was a very serious conversation that makes me realize we are in the hands of powerful people no matter where we live. Vadim malinovsky has shown us what propaganda perpetrates and it is frightening

Latvia

Once again Niona has peaked my interest in a country that I may not go to see. But - she told me about its history and customs and I love her conversations!

The Persian Wars: A Six-Part Course with Aristotle Koskinas
Timely and valuable

One of the best Conversations I've attended. Timely, insightful, infuriating - I hope Vadim gives more talks on subjects like this soon.

Putin’s War Propaganda: Top 10 Points with Vadim Malinovsky
Enjoyable learning

The content was of a high quality and professionally put together. The presentation was both interesting and enjoyable. Dr Norton is an excellent presenter who moved at a pace that felt appropriate for the topic and certainly for my knowledge level. I look forward to my next Context session with her.

Tudor History: Rivalry of Queen Mary I and Princess Elizabeth with Dr. Elizabeth Norton
Understanding Bloody Mary

Elizabeth Norton is able to put Mary in the complicated history of the Tudors while making it simple enough to understand. She clarifies what can be very murky.

The Origins of Chinese Civilization with Charles Higham
First-rate, illuminating - excellent talk

One of the best art-history Conversations I've seen - this fascinating talk brought many threads together for a comprehensive look at this wonderful painter. Highly, highly recommended.

El Greco: A Unique Great Master of the Renaissance - His Life and Work with Dimitra Pilarinou
Fascinating Women!

This is such a well-done, well-researched lecture about women composers, going back to the Ancient Greeks. The slide show with video/audio clips made the subject all the more real. Excellent example choices. The lecturer was very engaging, too. I'm sorry that only 10 or so people attended -- perhaps it was the day and/or time that was problematic for others. But I'm so glad I did attend! I learned so much and enjoyed spending 90 minutes with this Context lecture!

Muses: Women Composer-Performers Through the Ages with Kate Bolton-Porciatti
Great vivacious talk, well organized

So much information in such a lively talk. Loved how well organized it was -- very easy to understand the evolution of van Gogh's style as a result. Also really liked the addition of videos with Sabry holding some Van Gogh originals.
