CDIS44 — The Amish
Join College of Lake County's Sociology professor's John and Maria Jose Tenuto as they share 20 years of research on Amish communities. This engaging and fun multimedia presentation takes participants on a sociological journey through the history of the Amish, including the origins, life stages, traditions, customs, food, religion, and community of one of America's most famous subcultural groups. Through the use of photographs taken during field research, the Tenutos weave a fascinating story of people who preserve unique and traditional ways of life despite great challenges and reveal the lessons more modernized societies could learn from the Amish.
