Inge Brown
Inge is a world traveler with emphasis on ancient history, ancient sites, and ancient
civilizations. She has visited quite a few of the earth phenomena that her recent
courses deal with. Trained as an engineer and having an MBA, she ended her working
life as Director of the then Language Resource Center at Dartmouth College. She has
lost count, but this may be her tenth Osher course as Study Leader. (2/7/2024)
Geological Wonders of the Earth (Winter Term 2024)

Amazing to learn of these places. I especially loved the one about the ten different mini geologic wonders - so many things I did not know.
I enjoyed this course. Really allowed a chance to think and discuss the wonderful planet on which we live.
Geological Wonders of the Earth (Fall Term 2023)
Adventures of This World (Fall Term 2022)
Participant Testimonials:
Inge was very flexible in adjusting content and pace to feedback from the attendees. She also gave the attendees (three of us!) the opportunity to present something about our own travels.
Inge has traveled so much that she was easily able to demonstrate her perspective and wisdom.
Genghis Khan's Barbarian Empires of the Steppes and the Making of the Modern World (Spring Term 2019)
Participant Testimonials
Inge had prepared the course very well, it was well structured and content rich. What worked particularly well was that every participant had to prepare and present two chapters of the book that was the basis for the course.
The class met and exceeded my goal to accomplish that. I came away with a fuller understanding not only of Mongolia past and present, but about how one Mongol family impacted, and molded the future of, the entire known world of its day.
The Lost Worlds of South America (Winter Term 2018)
Participant Testimonials:
Inge Brown is an excellent Study Leader. She is enthusiastic and welcomes questions and discussion. She offers examples from her own experience traveling in South America.
Inge did a tremendous amount of preparation and provided tons of supplemental materials. She prepared and did supplemental reading ahead of each class so that she could answer many of our questions.
